Studies of the reproductive biology of nonhuman primates are commonly hindered by the lack of homologous, sensitive immunoassay systems for gonadotropins. The recent development of a bioassay based upon folliclestimulating hormone (FSH)-stimulated estradiol production by rat Sertoli cells (Padmanabh

Reproductive success in many mammals depends on synchrony between copulation and ovulation, which is insured by the phenomenon of heat in the female. Certain anthropoid primates including rhesus monkeys do not show heat but may copulate throughout the menstrual cycle, especially when pairs are isola
## Abstract Indianβorigin rhesus macaques (__Macaca mulatta__) have long served as an animal model for the study of human disease and behavior. Given the current shortage of Indianβorigin rhesus, many researchers have turned to rhesus macaques from China as a substitute. However, a number of studie
