A preliminary study of the baboon prostate pathophysiologyJames N Mubiru
Southwest National Primate Research Center, Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research, San Antonio, Texas 78227 5301, USA
Prostate 67:1421-31. 2007..At present there are no suitable animal models for these diseases. This study explores the potential use of the baboon as a model for prostatic diseases...
Nonhuman primates as models for studies of prostate specific antigen and prostatic diseasesJames N Mubiru
Southwest National Primate Research Center, Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research, San Antonio, Texas 78245 0549, USA
Prostate 68:1546-54. 2008..However, PSA has clinical limitations as a screen for prostatic diseases due to its low sensitivity and specificity. There is a strong need to better understand the biology of PSA and factors affecting its serum levels...

Southwest National Primate Research Center, Texas Biomedical Research Institute, San Antonio, Texas
Prostate 72:469-75. 2012..An inverse relationship between serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels and body mass index (BMI) has been reported in men but not in any animal model...

Department of Pathology, The University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, 78229, USA
Prostate 65:117-23. 2005..Alternatively spliced variants of AMACR have recently been reported, however, their role in prostate cancer pathogenesis is unclear...

A preliminary report on the feeding of cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) with a high-sugar high-fat diet for 33 weeksJames N Mubiru
Southwest National Primate Research Center, Texas Biomedical Research Institute, San Antonio, TX, USA
J Med Primatol 40:335-41. 2011..The metabolic syndrome is common in populations exposed to a typical Western diet. There is a lack of an animal model that mimics this condition...
