Erythrocytes of chimpanzees, gibbons and baboons
have a half-life (T/2) of 14 days and a life span (T/10) of approximately
50 days based on disappearance of chromium-labeled autogenous
red cells. These survival times are about half that found in
man.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
