As captive rhesus macaques often exhibit hair loss, alopecia was quantified and behavior was recorded before, during, and after fatty acid supplementation in six macaques. Fatty acid treatment was associated with a decrease in alopecia and in self-grooming behavior. Therefore, fatty acids may be a viable treatment for alopecia in some captive primates.
由于圈养的恒河猴经常出现脱发,对六只猕猴在补充脂肪酸之前、期间和之后的脱发情况进行了量化,并记录了其行为。脂肪酸治疗与脱发和自我梳理行为的减少有关。因此,脂肪酸可能是治疗某些圈养灵长类动物脱发的一种可行方法。
