Key result
ADMA is measurable in ~10% of captive owl monkeys and potentially linked to echocardiographic abnormalities.
Key points are not available for this paper at this time.
Population
40 captive owl monkeys (Aotus sp)

ADMA measurability limits in owl monkeys warrant caution for biomarker use; leaves open age-related cardiovascular associations in primates.
Only four of 40 animals had measurable asymmetric dimethyl arginine (ADMA) levels. The young primate had the lowest value (53.4 ng/ml) when compared with the two adults (218.8 ± 9.3 ng/ml) and the elderly one (320.5 ng/ml). The ADMA levels in this study may relate to the echocardiographic abnormalities found, and possible hypertensive individuals.

Teixeira et al. (2022) studied this question. Asymmetric dimethyl arginine (ADMA) was measurable in only 4 of 40 captive owl monkeys, increasing with age (53.4 to 320.5 ng/ml) and potentially relating to echocardiographic abnormalities.
