In the current context of global change, there is evidence of a large inter-individual variability in the way animals physiologically respond to anthropogenic changes.

Role of corticosterone on sleep homeostasis induced by REM sleep deprivation in rats. [PDF]
Sleep is regulated by humoral and homeostatic processes. If on one hand chronic elevation of stress hormones impair sleep, on the other hand, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep deprivation induces elevation of glucocorticoids and time of REM sleep during the

A physiological glucocorticoid rhythm is an important regulator of brown adipose tissue function
Objective: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) displays a strong circadian rhythm in metabolic activity, but it is unclear how this rhythm is regulated. As circulating levels of corticosterone coincide with the rhythm of triglyceride-derived fatty acid (FA ...

The human fetus preferentially secretes corticosterone, rather than cortisol, in response to intra-partum stressors. [PDF]
CONTEXT: Fetal stress is relevant to newborn outcomes. Corticosterone is rarely quantified in human clinical endocrinology and is found at much lower concentrations than cortisol.

Inhibition of proliferation, migration and proteolysis contribute to corticosterone-mediated inhibition of angiogenesis. [PDF]
The angiostatic nature of pharmacological doses of glucocorticoid steroids is well known. However, the consequences of pathophysiological elevation of endogenous glucocorticoids are not well established.

Fecal Corticosterone Reflects Serum Corticosterone in Florida Sandhill Cranes [PDF]
Florida sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis pratensis) were conditioned to confinement 6 hr/day for 7 days. On day 8, each bird's jugular vein was catheterized, blood samples were drawn, and each crane was confined for 6 hr. Using a randomized, restricted cross-over design, cranes were injected intravenously with either 0.9% NaCl solution or ACTH ...

Eggshell appearance does not signal maternal corticosterone exposure in Japanese quail: an experimental study with brown-spotted eggs [PDF]
Reproduction is a critical period for birds as they have to cope with many stressful events. One consequence of an acute exposure to stress is the release of corticosterone, the avian stress hormone.

Effects of Dietary Corticosterone on Yolk Colors and Eggshell Quality in Laying Hens [PDF]
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary corticosterone on egg quality. For 2 weeks hens received either control or experimental diet containing corticosterone at 30 mg/kg diet.

Corticosterone inhibits the lipid-mobilizing effects of oleoyl-estrone in adrenalectomized rats [PDF]
Oleoyl-estrone (OE) is an adipose-derived signal that decreases energy intake and body lipid, maintaining energy expenditure and glycemic homeostasis. Glucocorticoids protect body lipid and the metabolic status quo.

Feather corticosterone levels on wintering grounds have no carry-over effects on breeding among three populations of great skuas (Stercorarius skua). [PDF]
Environmental conditions encountered by migratory seabirds in their wintering areas can shape their fitness. However, the underlying physiological mechanisms remain largely unknown as birds are relatively inaccessible during winter.
