Absence from the first developmental stages as in whales and some Old World monkeys suggests that functional substitution is provided by other nasal chemoreceptors. The ganglia and fibres of the terminal nerve system (N. terminalis, Fig. 2.9) are the principal candidate (Wirsig and Leonard, 1987). The role of the trigeminal input, although a minor sensor, could well be expanded in a limited capacity (Tucker, 1971 Wysocki and Meredith, 1987 Westhofen, 1987).

Although mammals all metabolize phenol to the same metabolites, the amounts of each metabolite vary between species. For example, in the old world monkeys and prosimians, sulfation is the major phenol conjugation pathway, while in the new world monkeys, glucuronidation predominates (Mehta et al. 

The Gal(al-3) Gal epitop is found on cell surfaces of many mammalians and New World monkeys, but not in humans, primates or Old World monkeys. In human blood up to 1 % of the circulating IgG molecules are directed against this epitop [30,44] presenting an enormous immunological barrier for xenotransplantation of animal organs (e.g. from pig) to humans.

One feature of the ruminant and Old World monkey stomach lysozymes is their low isoelectric points (pH —7.0-9.0) compared with the high pH value (10.0-12 0 for many lysozymes. Arg appears to have been selected against, and L vi selected for, during the recent evolut> a-ary history of the ruminant lysozymes (Stewart and Wilson, 1987). Lys and Arg are considered generally to be the epitome of conservative, neutral replacements (Zuckerkandl and Pauling, 1965 Jukes, 1978). 

Monkeys are tree-dwelling mammals that, along with prosimians, apes, and humans, make up the order Primata of the primates. The primate suborder Anthro-poidea includes two different infraorders the Platyrrhini, comprised of New World monkeys, marmosets and tamarins and the Catarrhini, the Old World monkeys, apes, and humans. 

The major division between New World and Old World monkeys, in addition to their distribution, is that the New World monkeys have three premolars and the Old World only two. Platyrrhini, literally translated from the Greek, means broad flat nose. New World monkeys have rounded nostrils set fairly far apart and face outward. The Old World monkeys, in contrast, have narrow nostrils with only a thin membrane between them, and they tend to face downward. Catarrhini, literally means downward nose. Note that the term New World monkey includes the marmoset/tamarin group as well as species in family Cebidae. New World monkeys often have a prehensile, or grasping, tail while Old World monkeys lack a prehensile tail. Old World monkeys typically... 

Old World monkeys (family Ceropithecidae) live in sub-Saharan Africa and in India and Southeast Asia, and include langurs, macaques, guenons, baboons, mandrills, colobus and leaf monkeys, and mangabeys. Most monkeys are forest dwellers but a few species, such as baboons, live in open savanna or rocky highlands.

Some of these differences are reflected by the plasma lipoprotein patterns for example, the major plasma lipoprotein fractions in mice, rats, hamsters, rabbits, and dogs are the HDL fractions, whereas in guinea pigs and Old World monkeys the LDL fraction is the dominant fraction (Alexander and Day 1973 Terpstra et al. 1981 Barrie, Nash, and Watson 1993 Terpstra and Beynen 1984 Hollanders et al. 1986 ...
