Abstract
Serum and urine analytes were compared between two karyotypes of owl m onkey, Aotus nancymae and A. vociferans, to determine if normative cli nical pathology data obtained from one karyotype were applicable to th e other. Statistically significant differences (P less-than-or-equal-t o 0.05) were noted in serum calcium, serum phosphorus, serum sodium, s erum potassium, serum urea nitrogen, urine calcium, calcium clearance, and fractional clearance of calcium between the two karyotypes. The r esults suggest that A. vociferans regulate calcium-phosphorus and elec trolyte homeostasis in a manner different from that of A. nancymae.
