A seasonal variation in the urinary catecholamines output has been demonstrated in two simians kept under constant ambient conditions : the nocturnal Aotus and the diurnal Saïmiri sciureus. In Aotus, catecholamines output (NA + A), in spring, is higher than in other Primates including man and even more so in winter. Cold exposure increases the NA + A excretion in Aotus as it does in squirrel monkey and rat but the A output is particularly prominent in Saïmiri. Fasting does not alter significantly the catecholamines excretion. Associated fasting and cold exposure do not modify the adrenosympathetic response observed in Aotus in cold conditions alone, but depresses the sympathetic activity and greatly enhance the adrenomedullary excretion in squirrel monkey, as it is the case in rat. Associated fasting and cold represents a highly stressful situation for squirrel monkey but not for night monkey. Catecholamines metabolites (MN, NMN, DOPAC, HVA, VMA and MHPG) are found in urine of both species, DOPAC and VMA being predominant in Aotus but DOPAC and MHPG in Saïmiri. The proportions of conjugated forms vary according to the metabolite : DOPAC and VMA are mainly under free form but NMN, MN and MHPG are mostly conjugated in both species. The daily output of pooled adrenergic metabolites (expressed as ng/mg creatinine) is higher in Aotus than in Saïmiri and man. Both monkey species display a high adrenosympathetic activity which does not correlate with their resting metabolic rate.
