BACKGROUND Callithrix jacchus is a small primate widely used in experimentation, but data on plasma total protein (PTP) values of free-living animals inhabiting its own endemism region are non-existent. METHODS Marmosets belonging to two free-living groups were captured for marking and obtaining biological material. The collected blood was centrifuged to obtain the plasma and thus to determine the concentration of PTP. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Females and adults had the highest mean PTP. Mean found were higher than other values described for other neotropical primates, and the high PTP values presented by the animals indicate dehydration. Due to the importance of total plasma proteins for health and management, obtaining these values as a reference is relevant for the free-living Callithrix genus and other neotropical primates.

城市森林中自由活动mar（Callithrix jacchus）血浆总蛋白的价值。

背景技术Callithrix jacchus是在实验中广泛使用的小型灵长类动物，但是不存在居住在其自身特有病区的自由生活动物血浆总蛋白（PTP）值的数据。方法捕获属于两个自由生存群体的Mar猴，以标记和获取生物材料。将收集的血液离心以获得血浆，从而确定PTP的浓度。结果与结论女性和成年人的平均PTP最高。发现的平均值高于其他新嗜性灵长类动物描述的其他值，动物呈现的高PTP值表明存在脱水。由于总血浆蛋白对于健康和管理的重要性，因此获得这些值作为参考对于自由生活的Callithrix属和其他新嗜灵长类动物而言是重要的。
