Longevity, Taiwan. We hypothesized that stress induces alopecia in this population. To verify our hypothesis, we evaluated the histopathological characteristics of skin biopsy and used a validated enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for fecal glucocorticoid metabolite (FGM) analysis, which act as an indicator of stress experienced by the individual. Follicular densities were lower (2.1\u20133.0 mm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) in individuals with symmetrical alopecia than in those with normal hair conditions (4.7 mm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>). Furthermore, anagen to catagen\/telogen ratios were lower in individuals with alopecia (0\u20131.4) than in those with normal hair (4.0). The histopathological characteristics of alopecia were similar to those of telogen effluvium, which indicates that stress is one of the possible etiologies. On the basis of the analytical and biological validation of EIAs for FGM analysis, 11\u03b2-hydroxyetiocholanolone was considered suitable for monitoring adrenocortical activity in both sexes of Formosan macaques. The mean concentrations (standard error; sample size) of 11\u03b2-hydroxyetiocholanolone were 2.02 (0.17; n\u2009=\u200910) and 1.41 (0.10; n\u2009=\u200931) \u03bcg\/g for individuals with and without alopecia, respectively. Furthermore, the results of logistic regression analysis show that 11\u03b2-hydroxyetiocholanolone (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.012) concentration was positively associated with alopecia. Thus, stress was the most likely to trigger symmetrical alopecia in Formosan macaques in Mt. Longevity. Although stress can decrease the fitness of an individual, considering the population status of Formosan macaques in Taiwan is stable and alopecia was only observed in our study area, which is isolated from other populations, the impact on the total population of Formosan macaque in Taiwan is limited. Nonetheless, stress-induced immunosuppression and alopecia might affect the local abundance and increase zoonosis risk due to frequent human\u2013macaque contact in Mt. Longevity. Future studies are suggested to focus on the causative factor of stress and the effects of stress and alopecia on the health and welfare in the Formosan macaques.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-021-90725-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,27]],"date-time":"2021-05-27T10:16:36Z","timestamp":1622110596000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Association between stress and bilateral symmetrical alopecia in free-ranging Formosan macaques in Mt.
