Hematologic and serologic abnormalities similar to those observed in human systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) developed in cynomolgus macaques fed alfalfa sprouts. L-Canavanine sulfate, a constituent of alfalfa sprouts, was incorporated into the diet and reactivated the syndrome in monkeys in which an SLE-like syndrome had previously been induced by the ingestion of alfalfa seeds or sprouts.
食用苜蓿芽的食蟹猴出现了与人类系统性红斑狼疮（SLE）中观察到的类似的血液学和血清学异常。苜蓿芽的成分硫酸L-刀豆氨酸被纳入饮食中，并在先前因摄入苜蓿种子或芽而诱发类似SLE综合征的猴子中重新引发了该综合征。
