Six patas monkeys (Erythrocebus patas) were fed a protein-free diet. Sixteen animals of the same species received a standard monkey diet. The protein-depleted patas showed reduced absorption of folic acid but not D-xylose, and 5 out of 6 had a decrease in the exocrine pancreatic function. Animals with reduced folic acid absorption and pancreatic enzyme production developed a longer lasting diarrhoea and excreted the microorganisms for a longer time when challenged with Vibrio cholerae.
六只赤猴(赤猴属)被喂食无蛋白饮食。十六只同物种的动物接受标准猴类饮食。蛋白质缺乏的赤猴叶酸吸收减少,但木糖吸收未受影响,并且六只中有五只外分泌胰腺功能下降。叶酸吸收和胰腺酶产生减少的动物在受到霍乱弧菌攻击时会出现持续时间更长的腹泻,并且排出微生物的时间也更长。
