Physiological functions of glucocorticoids in stress and their relation to pharmacological actions.
Endocrine reviews, 1984Almost any kind of threat to homeostasis or stress will cause plasma glucocorticoid levels to rise. The increased levels have traditionally been ascribed the physiological function of enhancing the organism's resistance to stress, a role well recognized ...

BioScience, 1980
This quotation and the subsequent publication of the details of the General Adaptation Syndrome (Selye 1937) have become the basis for a vast number of studies on the subject of stress in animals. Despite the fact that the term stress seems imprecise because it means different things to different people, the broad concept has proved to be remarkably ...

Stress hormones: physiological stress and regulation of metabolism
Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2009Stress, defined as a state of threatened homeostasis, mobilizes a complex spectrum of adaptive physiologic and behavioral responses that aim to re-establish the challenged body homeostasis. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) constitute the main effector pathways of the stress system, mediating its ...

Environmental Constraints and Stress Physiology
2010Grapevines are often exposed to suboptimal growing conditions that cause environmental or abiotic stress. Such resource limitation leads to acclimation processes throughout the plant that shift investment to those organs or processes that favor acquisition of the limiting resource.

Measurement of physiological stress
Proceedings of the IEEE 23rd Northeast Bioengineering Conference, 2002In this tutorial paper, the methods presently used for measuring the degree of stress and relaxation in human physiology are discussed. Measurements include heart rate variability, respiration, blood levels of substance such as cortisol and catecholamine levels, EEG effects and the change in peripheral blood flow.

Physiology of Stress Resistance
1995The terms stress and stress resistance are used in the same way for plants as for man and other animals. Stress (= State of tension) signifies the effects of a “load” on the organism, caused by the influences of external factors (stress factors) which lead to an impairment or reduction in metabolism or development.

Stress Physiological Status and Fur Properties in Farm Mink Placed in Pairs or Singly
, 1996The effects of keeping farm mink in pairs or singly from weaning to pelting on haematological, clinical-chemical and stress physiological variables, on body and organ weight, and on fur properties were examined in 96 mink kits in order to assess the ...

, 2000 Stress Hormones, Physiology, and Behavior
2019Stress, be it physical or psychological, can have a devastating long-term impact on an individual’s development, health, and well-being, and yet can be adaptive in the short term (e.g., promoting immediate survival, triggering the desire to remedy social conflict).
