The purpose of this study is to present a cohesive review of research involving the physiology and pathology of reproduction in nonhuman primates. Four major aspects of the reproduction cycle - the pregnant animal, the embryo, the foetus and the neonate - are covered separately, although there is obviously a great deal of overlap between these sections. The authors of each chapter review the literature relevant to their topic, compare data obtained with various species of primates, and discuss the implications and applicability of the work with nonhuman primates to human perinatal research and clinical medicine. In many instances, reviews of the literature are updated by new, as yet unpublished, data from the authors' own studies. Each section of the book is concluded by a chapter placing the information presented into perspective in context of past, current, and future perinatal research.
