Summary:
Chorionic gonadatrophin (CG) is an integral part of the complex endocrinology of pregnancy in primates. This glycoprotein hormone is utilized as a biochemical marker for pregnancy in many species of primates. Part I of this thesis is directed towards the construction of a general inductive model of chorionic gonadatrophin patterns which will indicate regularities of occurence and overall relationships. This model propoeses a general continuum of CG production which corresponds to phylogenetic expectations as illustrated by antigenic similarities and similarities in CC patterns across primate species and families. Also discussed is an apparent divergence of CG role and function in two cercopithecine genera. This discussion of comparative aspects of CG is an attempt to add insight into an important aspect of the primate reproductive process. Part II utilizes this comparative information to construct a guide which provides a practical application for the use of CG in breeding programs.
