Abstract

The circulating blood volume has been measured in 65 healthy Japanese monkeys (Macaca fuscata) with the dye T-1824 (Evans blue). The values obtained were 83 ± 13 ml/kg in females, and 85 ± 12 ml/kg in females, almost the same as the figures reported in man.

Sex difference of blood volume has been reported to be present in man, but from the data obtained here no significant difference was found in the Japanese monkey.

In young monkeys aged from 1 to 5.5 years, the blood volume was 77 ± 5 ml/kg in males, and 78 ± 4 ml/kg in females. The blood volume of the monkey was found to increase with age; a significant difference was demonstrated between adult males and young males.
