Objective We aimed to examine the general health and intestinal physiology of young and
old non-human primates with comparable life histories and dietary environments. Design
Vervet monkeys (Chlorcebus aethiops sabaeus) in stable and comparable social and
nutritional environments were selected for evaluation. Health phenotype, circulating
cytokines and biomarkers of microbial translocation (MT) were measured (n= 26-44).
Subsets of monkeys additionally had their intestinal motility, intestinal permeability, and fecal …
