Parks and Rudel (P4) showed in African green vervet monkeys that the kinetic fete of apoA-II on lymph chylomicrons introduced into plasma differed from that of apoA-I. ApoA-I metabolism has been discussed (Sections 4.2 and 4.3). ApoA-II was transferred immediately from chylomicrons to HDL particles. It is possible that in so doing it may displace apoA-I from HDL (L2, R19) the data of Parks and Rudel are consistent with this possibility. 

ApoSAA, an acute-phase protein, is produced quickly in mice and men in response to a stress (e.g., endotoxin administration, etiocholanolone injection). The apoSAA concentrations rise from less than 1% to more than 25% of the total HDL protein content, depending on the degree of stress (B25, B26). In man, major changes in plasma concentration with disease have been reported, e.g., 100-fold or 1000-fold decreases in concentration with resolution of an acute illness (R18). There are reports that glucose infusion in a normal subject (M22) and in hospital patients (M23) may modify HDL composition and increase plasma apoSAA in HDL and, in vervet monkeys, chair restraint rapidly induces apoSAA production (P3, P5). In cynomolgus monkeys, apoSAA is cleared rapidly from the circulation, more rapidly than apoC-III2 and much more rapidly than apoA-I (B19).

Social knowledge Primates carry a store of social information about their companions characteristics, relationships and past behaviour, which they can apply to novel social situations. The extent of knowledge about who is affiliated with whom, and who did what to whom in the past, was strikingly demonstrated by vervet monkeys enhanced tendency to fight with the relatives of a monkey who attacked their own kin sometime in the last two hours (Cheney Seyfarth 1990). 

The in vitro metabolism of aflatoxin Bi(2) in the vervet monkey liver85,86 was demonstrated to produce a new compound. Spectral analysis, molecular composition data, and chemical tests showed the product to be an oxygenated derivative of aflatoxin Bi(2), which was distinctly different from aflatoxin MjCii) by direct comparison. The data available suggested that the B i) had been hydroxylated at the C-5 allylic position to yield 5-hydroxyaflatoxin B , or aflatoxin Qj(79).
