Evaluating corticosterone as a biomarker for amphibians exposed to increased salinity and ambient corticosterone

Conservation Physiology, 2021
Abstract Physiological biomarkers are commonly used to assess the health of taxa exposed to natural and anthropogenic stressors. Glucocorticoid (GC) hormones are often used as indicators of physiological stress in wildlife because they affect growth, reproduction and survival.

HPLC MS-MS Analysis Shows Measurement of Corticosterone in Egg Albumen Is Not a Valid Indicator of Chicken Welfare

Animals, 2020
Assessment of animal welfare can include analysis of physiological parameters, as well as behavior and health. Levels of adrenocortical hormones such as cortisol (and corticosterone in chickens) have been relied on as indicators of stress.

Chronic Early-life Stress in Rat Pups Alters Basal Corticosterone, Intestinal Permeability, and Fecal Microbiota at Weaning: Influence of Sex. [PDF]

, 2017
Background/aimsWistar rat dams exposed to limited nesting stress (LNS) from post-natal days (PND) 2 to 10 display erratic maternal behavior, and their pups show delayed maturation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and impaired epithelial barrier

Validating the underpinnings of water corticosterone measurement for aquatic amphibians [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

F1000Research
Background Good animal welfare is important ethically but also to ensure animals provide valid scientific models. Despite thousands of amphibians in research laboratories there is minimal quantitative evidence pertaining to their management and welfare ...

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.

Social and Anxiety-Like Behaviors Are Affected in Juvenile Mice With Gli2^+/- but Not Gli3^+/𝛥699 Genetic Modifications. [PDF]

Brain Behav
Across Gli3+/Δ699, Gli2+/−, and combined Gli2+/−;Gli3+/Δ699 mice (males and females, with wild‐type controls), GLI2 and GLI3 differentially regulate anogenital distance and juvenile behavior, with amplified effects under combined disruption, whereas circulating steroids and sexually dimorphic nucleus area remain unchanged.

Innate immunity, assessed by plasma NO measurements, is not suppressed during the incubation fast in eiders [PDF]

, 2006
Immunity is hypothesized to share limited resources with other physiological functions and may mediate life history trade-offs, for example between reproduction and survival.

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).

Organic Cation Transporter 3: A Cellular Mechanism Underlying Rapid, Non-Genomic Glucocorticoid Regulation of Monoaminergic Neurotransmission, Physiology, and Behavior [PDF]

, 2018
Corticosteroid hormones act at intracellular glucocorticoid receptors (GR) and mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) to alter gene expression, leading to diverse physiological and behavioral responses.
