Salivary response of Geoffroy’s spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) to consumption of plant secondary metabolites

Salivary response of Geoffroy’s spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) to consumption of plant secondary metabolites

Geoffroy’s spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) can modulate the acidity-alkalinity (pH) and salivary expression of total proteins (TP) and proline-rich proteins (PRPs) depending on the concentration of tannins in their diet, helping to counteract negative post-ingestive effects. Besides tannins, plant...
