An animal welfare group wants Wake Forest University officials to investigate a medical school professor s involvement in a research project that denied monkeys food and water and forced them to endure hours of loud sounds and strobe lights.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said in a letter Wednesday to university President Nathan Hatch that monkeys used in a recent research experiment were subjected to unrelenting and extreme torments that amounted to torture.
Wake Forest Baptist Health said Friday that its professor s involvement was as a consultant and adviser to the project.
In an article published in January in Translational Psychiatry, researchers describe how they treated five adolescent cynomolgus monkeys â small primates native to east and southeast Asia that are also known as crab-eating or long-tailed macaques. Translational Psychiatry is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes papers on neuroscience research and treatments.

Stick to guideline-based physical activity for improving cardiorespiratory fitness, diastolic function
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is no better than moderate continuous training at improving peak oxygen consumption (VO
2) in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), although both did improve it, according to a recent study published in
Further, neither exercise regimen was more effective at improving peak VO
2 compared with guideline-based physical activity, and neither brought about clinically relevant changes in cardiorespiratory fitness, diastolic function, or natriuretic peptide levels after 3 or 12 months when compared with guideline-recommended physical activity, Martin Halle, MD, of the Technical University of Munich, Munich, Germany, and fellow researchers with the OptimEx-Clin Study Group reported.
