Circulating levels of oestrone and progesterone were measured by radioimmunoassays in plasma samles from 5 female owl monkeys on 60 consecutive days. Both steroids exhibited cyclic fluctuations and based on nadir to nadir intervals the ovarian cycle was estimated to be 15.92 +/- 0.26 days. Levels of oestrone and pregnanediol-3 alpha-glucuronide were also measured in daily urine samples. The fluctuations of urinary steroids reflected those observed in plasma. Ketamine sedation had no effect on the length of the cycle. Peak values of plasma progesterone and oestrone were 250.48 +/- 11.37 and 3.59 +/- 0.066 ng/ml respectively. There was no clear hormonal distinction between the follicular and luteal phase of the cycle in these owl monkeys.
通过放射免疫分析法对5只雌性夜猴连续60天的血浆样本中的雌酮和孕酮循环水平进行了测量。两种类固醇均呈现出周期性波动，根据最低点到最低点的间隔，估计卵巢周期为15.92 +/- 0.26天。还对每日尿液样本中的雌酮和孕二醇-3α-葡萄糖醛酸水平进行了测量。尿类固醇的波动反映了血浆中观察到的波动。氯胺酮镇静对周期长度没有影响。血浆孕酮和雌酮的峰值分别为250.48 +/- 11.37和3.59 +/- 0.066 ng/ml。在这些夜猴的周期中，卵泡期和黄体期之间没有明显的激素差异。
