Gene array analysis of adrenal glands in broiler chickens following ACTH treatment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Difference in adaptability responses to stress has been observed amongst bird species, strains, and individuals. Components of the HPA axis, one of the internal systems involved in homeostasis re-establishment following stress, could play a role in this ...

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

open access: yesF1000Research
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 ...

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

open access: yesBiomedicines, 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).

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

open access: yesAnimals, 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.

Forced desynchrony reveals independent contributions of suprachiasmatic oscillators to the daily plasma corticosterone rhythm in male rats. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is required for the daily rhythm of plasma glucocorticoids; however, the independent contributions from oscillators within the different subregions of the SCN to the glucocorticoid rhythm remain unclear.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Role of Corticosterone in Lipid Metabolism in Broiler Chick White Adipose Tissue

open access: yesThe Journal of Poultry Science, 2022
Excessive accumulation of body fat in broiler chickens has become a serious problem in the poultry industry. However, the molecular mechanism of triglyceride accumulation in chicken white adipose tissue (WAT) has not been elucidated.

Paternal Sperm Gnas‐ICR Epigenetic Programming Contributes to PPP‐Like Phenotypes in Female Offspring

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A paternal glucocorticoid–sperm Gnas‐ICR axis is linked to ovarian endocrine programming in female offspring. Paternal preconception caffeine exposure elevates corticosterone, promotes sperm Gnas‐ICR hypermethylation, and is associated with ovarian Gnas upregulation, cAMP/PKA/CREB–StAR activation, enhanced estradiol synthesis, and PPP‐like phenotypes ...

Stachyose Alleviates Corticosterone-Induced Long-Term Potentiation Impairment via the Gut–Brain Axis

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Stress can induce learning and memory impairment; corticosterone is often used to study the effects and mechanisms of stress in animal models. Long-term potentiation (LTP) has been widely used for tackling the mechanisms of memory.
