Chronic wasting disease is associated with elevated cortisol concentrations in a white‐tailed deer population

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Many clinical signs of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in white‐tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus are consistent with those of chronic stress including hyperexcitability, head tremors, teeth grinding, pacing, excessive salivation, drinking, and urination. Deer with CWD‐positive (CWD+) status are more likely to exhibit poor body condition and to die, and

Fecal Glucocorticoid and Androgen Metabolites in Eastern Grey Kangaroos (Macropus giganteus) Following Environmental Relocation

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Fecal glucocorticoid (GCM) and androgen metabolite (AM) concentrations were monitored for 3 months following the relocation of three eastern gray kangaroos (Macropus giganteus) between zoological facilities. Both metabolites showed high concentrations during the early postrelocation period, followed by a rapid decline and stabilization, suggesting ...

The Scoop on Honey Badger Poop: Validation of a Non‐Invasive Method for Assessing Physiological Responses in Captivity

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Captive honey badgers (Mellivora capensis) are routinely exposed to environmental and husbandry‐related stressors that differ markedly from their natural conditions; however, physiological welfare assessments in this species remain limited. This study aimed to validate a non‐invasive approach to evaluate stress‐related fecal glucocorticoid ...

Advent of NK3R Antagonists for the Treatment of Menopausal Hot Flushes: A Narrative Review

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The menopause transition is marked by symptoms predominantly attributed to declining oestrogen levels. Approximately 80% of women experience associated symptoms, and 25% experience severe symptoms. The commonest are vasomotor symptoms (VMS), collectively referring to hot flushes and/or night sweats.

Effect of Salinity Stress on Gut–Brain–Gonad Axis in the Red‐Eared Slider (Trachemys scripta elegans)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The increase in salinity leads to changes in the gut microbiota and metabolites of Trachemys scripta elegans, affecting the synthesis and secretion of neurotransmitters or precursors, which can inhibit the secretion of reproductive hormones and affect the self‐renewal and differentiation process of spermatogonial stem cells.

Sex‐Specific Involvement of Gut Microbiota in Behavioral and Endocrine Responses to Chronic Predator Odor in Brandt's Voles

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
18 days of predator odor exposure altered gut microbiota, increased anxiety‐like behaviors, and elevated hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis activity in Brandt's voles, with males showing behavioral habituation and females remaining sensitive. Cecal microbiota transplantation experiments confirmed that only female recipients of microbiota from predator‐
