Morphological and physiological studies on the primate growth.

为了阐明灵长类动物生长的形态和生理特征，本文对黑猩猩和猕猴等灵长类动物的横向和纵向数据进行了分析。阐明了灵长类动物生长的一些形态和生理特征；当对野生日本猴（Macaca fuscata fuscata）的体格生长进行标准化时，最好排除两组（Koshima和Jigokudani组）的体格测量数据。考虑到其鲁棒性，样条函数方法似乎比其他线性或非线性函数模型更适合于描述普通黑猩猩（Pan troglodytes）和日本猴子（m.f.f ascata和m.f.a yakui）的身体发育。雌性日本猴在发育期（3 ~ 4年）24小时分泌高峰时生长激素浓度最高。胰岛素样生长因子1的分泌可能有每日波动，但与gh相比幅度较小。通过对长尾猕猴（M. fascularis）的横向体测数据进行多值异速分析，发现了长尾猕猴生长的性别差异。在logistic曲线、Gompertz曲线等曲线中，长尾猕猴的纵向体测数据最能拟合长尾猕猴的二次曲线。对普通黑猩猩10年后的血液（RBC、Hb、Ht和GOT）进行血液学和生化分析，结果显示出性别差异。雌性黑猩猩5岁时血浆ALP浓度升高，雄性黑猩猩6、7岁时血浆ALP浓度升高。

To elucidate the morphological and physiological characteristics of the primate growth, transversal and/or longitudinal data of some primates including chimpanzees and macaques were analyzed.Some morphological and physiological characteristics of the primate growth were clarified;1. When the physical growth of wild Japanese monkeys (Macaca fuscata fuscata) were standardized, it may be better to exclude the somatometric data of two groups (Koshima and Jigokudani group).2. A spline function-method seems to be more suitable for description of the physical growth of common chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and Japanese monkeys (M. f.fuscata and M. f. yakui) than other linear or non-linear function models considering its robustness.3. The highest growth hormone (GH) concentrations of the peak of 24 hours secretion were observed in pubertal period (3 to 4 years) in female Japanese monkeys. The secretion of insulin-like growth factor 1 may have a daily fluctuation which had less amplitude compared with that of GH.4. Some sexual differences of growth were detected by the multivaluate allometry analysis of transversal somatometric data in long-tailed macaques (M. fascicularis). The curve of second degree was most fitted to the growth curve by longitudinal somatometric data of long-tailed macaques among other curves e.g. logistic or Gompertz curve.5. Sexual differences were appeared in some results obtained by haematological and biochemical analyses of blood (RBC, Hb, Ht and GOT) in common chimpanzees after 10 years. The concentration of plasma ALP increased at 5 years in female and at 6 or 7 years in male chimpanzees.
