Evidence of ectoparasite-induced endocrine disruption in an imperiled giant salamander, the eastern hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis).
J. Exp. Biol. 218 , 2297-304, (2015) Parasitic leeches and trypanosomes release chemical signals into their hosts to evade immuno-detection, but it is unknown whether these compounds manipulate host behavior or endocrine physiology. We determined whether parasitic infections with leeches and/or ... |

Prenatal stress effects on pig development and response to weaning.
J. Anim. Sci. 86 , 1316-24, (2008) Exposing a pregnant sow to stress has been shown to affect the resulting offspring. Our objective was to determine if rough handling of pregnant sows altered the physiology of her offspring and if these alterations were different from an experimentally induce... |

Plasma cortisol response to stress in juvenile rainbow trout is influenced by their life history during early development and by egg cortisol content.
Gen. Comp. Endocrinol. 158 , 234-9, (2008) In this study, the consequences of the exposure of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to a brief stress during early development were explored on the later response of fingerlings to stress. Firstly, we analyzed the ontogeny of cortisol production and that o... |

Technical note: comparison of salivary and serum cortisol concentrations after adrenocorticotropic hormone challenge in ewes.
J. Anim. Sci. 88 , 599-603, (2010) An ACTH challenge was conducted to determine if salivary cortisol concentration reflects serum cortisol concentration in ewes. Twelve yearling ewes (64.0 +/- 1.2 kg) were administered ACTH (100 IU, intravenously) or saline. Serum and salivary samples were col... |

Annual profile of fecal androgen and glucocorticoid levels in free-living male American kestrels from southern mid-latitude areas.
Gen. Comp. Endocrinol. 166 , 94-103, (2010) Fecal samples and behavioral data were collected at a fortnightly basis during 11 months period from free-living male American kestrels living in southeast Brazil (22 degrees S latitude). The aim was to investigate the seasonal changes in testicular and adren... |

Kinetics and persistence of cardiovascular and locomotor effects of immobilization stress and influence of ACTH treatment.
Neurochem. Int. 89 , 98-108, (2009) Stress triggers crucial responses, including elevated blood pressure and heart rate (HR), to handle the emergency and restore homeostasis. However, continuation of these effects following cessation of the stress is implicated with many stress-related disorder... |

Seasonal and sex differences in responsiveness to adrenocorticotropic hormone contribute to stress response plasticity in red-sided garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis).
J. Exp. Biol. 219 , 1022-30, (2016) As in many vertebrates, hormonal responses to stress vary seasonally in red-sided garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis). For example, males generally exhibit reduced glucocorticoid responses to a standard stressor during the spring mating season. We ... |

Face your fears: cleaning gobies inspect predators despite being stressed by them.
PLoS ONE 7 , e39781, (2012) social stressors typically elicit two distinct behavioural responses in vertebrates: an active response (i.e., "fight or flight") or behavioural inhibition (i.e., freezing). Here, we report an interesting exception to this dichotomy in a Caribbean cleaner fis... |

Do cleaning organisms reduce the stress response of client reef fish?
Front. Zool. 4 , 21, (2007) Marine cleaning interactions in which cleaner fish or shrimps remove parasites from visiting 'client' reef fish are a textbook example of mutualism. However, there is yet no conclusive evidence that cleaning organisms significantly improve the health of their... |

Increased adrenal responsiveness and delayed hatching date in relation to polychlorinated biphenyl exposure in Arctic-breeding black-legged kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla).
Gen. Comp. Endocrinol. 219 , 165-72, (2015) High levels of environmental contaminants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and mercury (Hg) have been reported in some Arctic top predators such as seabirds. Chronic exposure to these contaminants might alter the resp... |
