ORIGINAL RESEARCH COMMUNICATIONS

Protein deprivation in primates. X. Test performance of juveniles born of deprived mothers

NM Hillman, SR Khalid and AJ Riopelle

Forty juvenile rhesus monkeys whose mothers were fed semisynthetic diets containing 13.4, 6.7, or 3.35% protein during pregnancy were tested as juveniles on four tests of perceptual-discrimination learning. All juveniles were well fed since birth. No significant differences in proficiency due to diet could be detected. It is concluded that thanks to the mother's proficient adaptation to the diet the fetus is well protected, and not deprived.
