With the addition of short lengths of chain, you can even create the 3D shapes shown in the images above by attaching the board to itself. Your flat bondage surface becomes a spanking chair or supportive wedge to bend a submissive over for all sorts of play. ITT is used to examine if the body produces enough ACTH (adreno-cortico-trophic hormone) and growth hormone under stress. The ‘stress’ in this test was to lower blood sugar (hypoglycemia) by injected insulin under very controlled conditions. ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands to make cortisol which is a steroid hormone and has many functions, including balancing the effect of insulin in regulating blood glucose levels. Five animals (normoglycemia, n = 3 and diabetes, n = 2) were fasted overnight (16 h) and restrained in the monkey chair. When blood glucose levels stabilized for around 30 min via observation of the HD-XG glucose signals, the insulin solution (0.15 U/kg = 0.15 mL/kg of insulin injection) was given to each animal via S.C. injection [ 5]. Blood glucose levels were measured by the glucometer method (StatStrip Xpress meter) immediately before and at 30, 60, 90, and 120 min after insulin administration (Fig. 7, ITT). Meanwhile, blood glucose levels were monitored and recorded by implanted HD-XG devices. The results were plotted against the time and were correlated very well between the telemetry results and the glucometer readings. GGIHansen BC, Bodkin NL (1993) Standardization of IVGTT. Importance of method used to calculate glucose disappearance. Diabetes Care 16(5):847 Fibrin and/or tissue adhered to the glucose sensor area of the electrode placed in the artery can affect glucose readings. To obtain an optimal performance and accuracy of glucose readings, the implanted HD-XG device must be calibrated by reference measurements of tail vein blood samples with the Nova StatStrip Glucose Meter (Nova ® Biomedical, Waltham, MA, USA) from time to time during study. Raw telemetry data are recorded in nanoamperes (nA) and calibration reference values are recorded in mg/dL. The calibration algorithm converts the telemetry (nA) data to the values that are equivalent to the appropriate mg/dL results. Multi-point calibration

The survey identified large variation in the types of chair used, the methods of transferring the monkey from the home environment into the chair, the time allowed to prepare the animals for chair restraint equipment before research procedures begin, and the roles of the personnel involved.One unique thing I love that you’re not going to find in cheaper chairs with a similar design is that this one is height-adjustable. Depending on what you’re doing, height can make all the difference in your comfort depending on whether you’re looking to bounce or stay in to eat. The legs can easily be turned to raise and lower the seats and they even mark off the height for you so you don’t have to struggle with guessing to make sure all the legs are the same length. The seat can be as high as around 15 inches off the ground and as low as 11.8 inches. The overnight-fasted monkeys were restrained in the monkey chair. After stabilization of their blood glucose levels based on the HD-XG glucose signals, angiotensin II at 2 μg/kg was administered intravenously by bolus injection. Blood glucose level gradually increased and reached the peak within 10 min after angiotensin II injection in both normoglycemic (L02) and diabetic (J04) monkeys (Fig. 6b). The hyperglycemic response to angiotensin II slowly waned and lately even went lower than the pre-angiotensin II level in the diabetic animal (J04, Fig. 6b). It is interesting that intravenous bolus injection of acetylcholine at 1 μg/kg did not alter blood glucose levels in both normoglycemic and diabetic monkeys implanted with HD-XG telemetry devices (data not shown).

Specifically-designed restraint chairs are commonly used in research studies that require non-human primates to ‘sit’ in place for sustained periods of time (e.g. behavioural neuroscience and drug infusion studies). Despite widespread use of restraint chairs, there is little published information about the methods used to train monkeys to accept this form of restraint, which can be a stressful procedure for these animals.

J Diabetes Res. doi: 10.1155/2014/785948This Spanking Bench is made right here in the USA using real hardwood and metal, so if you’re looking for a substantial piece that you can trust to be sturdy, this is for you. The survey aimed to obtain an overview of current practice, including the equipment and methods used for preparing monkeys for chair restraint procedures, the challenges involved, and plans for improvement. Responses were received from 101 laboratories in the academic, government, contract research and pharmaceutical industry sectors in the Americas (62), Europe (33) and Asia (6).

The survey identified large variation in the types of chair used, the methods for transferring the monkey from the home environment into the chair, the time allowed to prepare the animals for chair restraint equipment before research procedures begin, and the roles of the personnel involved. For example, two-thirds of laboratories use an enclosed “box chair” design, where the monkey enters and is trained to extend his/her head through an opening on the top of the chair, and one-third use an “open chair” design, where manual handling or the pole-and-collar system is used to transfer and secure the animal into the chair.

It also has a hole on top of it where you can insert a vibe or other toy and you can use it as a mountable chair or stand it up on its side flat against the headboard.
