Organic Cation Transporter 3 (OCT3) Is Localized to Intracellular and Surface Membranes in Select Glial and Neuronal Cells Within the Basolateral Amygdaloid Complex of Both Rats and Mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Organic cation transporter 3 (OCT3) is a high-capacity, low-affinity transporter that mediates corticosterone-sensitive uptake of monoamines including norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine, histamine and serotonin. OCT3 is expressed widely throughout the

A multi‐trait evaluation of patterns and fitness consequences of breeding phenology plasticity with nocturnal warming and food restriction in a lizard

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Faced with climate warming, ectothermic species shift their breeding phenology, which is in part attributed to an acceleration of gestation or incubation in warmer environments.

Mate desertion affects offspring survival, development and physiology in a songbird with multiple parental strategies

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Sexual conflict affects the amount and duration of offspring care each parent invests, resulting in multiple parental care strategies sometimes coexisting within a single population.

Does nocturnal light pollution impair immune function in a wild‐living amphibian?

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Light pollution is among the most rapidly growing anthropogenic stressors on Earth. As it spreads far beyond its original source, it affects natural protected areas playing a key role in protecting biodiversity.

Corticosterone in Commercial Broilers

open access: yesJournal of Applied Poultry Research, 2005
Abstract The welfare of commercially produced broilers is of concern to producers and consumers. When birds are reared under stressful conditions they often exhibit several adaptive responses. The major response is secretion of the stress hormone, corticosterone (CS), by the adrenal glands.

Enduring effects of chronic corticosterone treatment on spatial learning, synaptic plasticity, and hippocampal neuropathology in young and mid-aged rats

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 1995
Prolonged treatment with stress levels of corticosterone has been reported to produce changes in the hippocampus. In the experiments reported here, we examined for functional and morphological consequences of this treatment.

Maternal glucocorticoids have persistent effects on offspring social phenotype irrespective of opportunity for social buffering

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study tests whether early‐life maternal association buffers offspring from the effects of prenatal stress in a facultatively social lizard. Despite clear effects of maternal glucocorticoids on growth and social behaviour, social associations did not mitigate these effects, revealing limits to social buffering in this species.

DSOK-0011 Potentially Regulates Circadian Misalignment and Affects Gut Microbiota Composition in Activity-Based Anorexia Model. [PDF]

open access: yesInt J Eat Disord
ABSTRACT Objective Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a metabolic‐psychiatric disorder characterized by severe weight loss, hypercortisolemia, and hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis activation. In this study, we investigated the effect of inhibiting cortisol regeneration via the enzyme 11β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β‐HSD1) on the ...
