The natural estrous cycle of captive Senegal galagos was analyzed from daily records of 11 cycling females for 18 months, and induction of vaginal estrus and ovulation by gonadotropins and estrogen were examined in 9 females. No seasonal trend in cycling was indicated, as at least 5 of the 11 cycling females exhibited vaginal estrus during each month. Cycle lengths and duration of estrus were consistent for each female but varied significantly among females. Individuals' average cycle lengths ranged from 29.2 +/- 0.8 to 39.3 +/- 3.4 days, and duration of estrus from 4.8 +/- 0.2 to 6.7 +/- 0.4 days. Vaginal estrus was induced by PMSG and PMSG-HCG combinations, and by estradiol. The gonadotropins also induced growth and ovulation of more than one follicle.
通过对11只处于发情周期的雌性塞内加尔婴猴18个月的每日记录，分析了圈养塞内加尔婴猴的自然发情周期，并对9只雌性婴猴进行了促性腺激素和雌激素诱导阴道发情及排卵的研究。未发现发情周期的季节性趋势，因为11只处于发情周期的雌性婴猴中每月至少有5只出现阴道发情。每只雌性的周期长度和发情持续时间是一致的，但不同雌性之间差异显著。个体的平均周期长度在29.2±0.8至39.3±3.4天之间，发情持续时间在4.8±0.2至6.7±0.4天之间。孕马血清促性腺激素（PMSG）和PMSG-人绒毛膜促性腺激素（HCG）组合以及雌二醇可诱导阴道发情。促性腺激素还可诱导多个卵泡生长和排卵。
