Experimental chronic noise is related to elevated fecal corticosteroid metabolites in lekking male greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). [PDF]

, 2012
There is increasing evidence that individuals in many species avoid areas exposed to chronic anthropogenic noise, but the impact of noise on those who remain in these habitats is unclear.

Stress Hormone Corticosterone Controls Metabolic Mitochondrial Performance and Inflammatory Signaling of In Vitro Cultured Sertoli Cells

Biomedicines, 2022
Stress, as a physiological response, is a major factor that affects several processes, including reproductive functions. The main hormonal players of stress are cortisol (humans) and corticosterone (rodents).

Comparing plasma and faecal measures of steroid hormones in Adelie penguins Pygoscelis adeliae [PDF]

, 2010
Physiological measurements of both stress and sex hormones are often used to estimate the consequences of natural or human-induced change in ecological studies of various animals.

Differential Effects of Psychological and Physical Stress on the Sleep Pattern in Rats [PDF]

, 2007
In the present study, we investigated the acute effects of 2 different kinds of stress, namely physical stress (foot shock) and psychological stress (non-foot shock) induced by the communication box method, on the sleep patterns of rats.

Dexamethasone-associated metabolic effects in male mice are partially caused by depletion of endogenous corticosterone

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Synthetic glucocorticoids are clinically used to treat auto-immune and inflammatory disease. Despite the high efficacy, glucocorticoid treatments causes side effects such as obesity and insulin resistance in many patients.

Lifetime glucocorticoid profiles in baleen of right whale calves: Potential relationships to chronic stress of repeated wounding by Kelp Gulls [PDF]

, 2018
Baleen tissue accumulates stress hormones (glucocorticoids, GC) as it grows, along with other adrenal, gonadal and thyroid hormones. The hormones are deposited in a linear fashion such that a single plate of baleen allows retrospective assessment and ...

Corticosterone selectively decreases humoral immunity in female eiders during incubation

, 2007
Immunity is hypothesized to share limited resources with other physiological functions and this may partly account for the fitness costs of reproduction.

The corticotrophin-releasing factor/urocortin system regulates white fat browning in mice through paracrine mechanisms [PDF]

, 2015
Objectives: The corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF)/urocortin system is expressed in the adipose tissue of mammals, but its functional role in this tissue remains unknown.

Interpreting Neuroendocrine Hormones, Corticosterone, and Blood Glucose to Assess the Wellbeing of Anesthetized Rats during Euthanasia [PDF]

, 2018
Current recommendations for assessing animal wellbeing during euthanasia suggest that measuring neuroendocrine hormones-such as ACTH, noradrenaline, and adrenaline-is preferable to measuring corticosterone and blood glucose because of the sensitivity of ...
