corticosterone
- Does selection for behavioral and physiological performance traits alter glucocorticoid responsiveness in bank voles?
Summary: Bank voles from lines selected in distinct directions do not differ in corticosterone response to stress, but the maximum response and the rate of recovery differ to some extent.
- Habituation of the cardiovascular response to restraint stress is inhibited by exposure to other stressor stimuli and exercise training
Summary: Evidence that diseases evoked by stress might be related to impairment in the habituation process upon repeated exposure to the same stressor.
- Tissue-specific expression of 11β-HSD and its effects on plasma corticosterone during the stress response
Summary: Peripheral enzymes are primarily responsible for enzymatic modulation of the glucocorticoid stress response in songbirds.
- Exposure to fluctuating temperatures leads to reduced immunity and to stress response in rattlesnakes
Summary: An acute change from a constant to a fluctuating thermal regime triggers a stress response in rattlesnakes. Additionally, exposure to a fluctuating thermal regime is associated with reduced immunity in rattlesnakes.
- Stress coping and evolution of aerobic exercise performance: corticosterone levels in voles from a selection experiment
Summary: The aerobic exercise performance of bank voles during a swimming trial is suppressed by the glucocorticoid stress response, but artificial selection for high performance does not modify the blood corticosterone level.
- Effects of early nutritional stress on physiology, life histories and their trade-offs in a model ectothermic vertebrate
Summary: Early-life nutritional stress has immediate, but no lasting effects, on immune function or stress physiology and incites a compensatory growth response that has long-term effects on fitness and survival.
- Population history with invasive predators predicts innate immune function response to early-life glucocorticoid exposure in lizards
Summary: Historical, population-level exposure to invasive predatory fire ants (and associated stress) affects the immune consequences of early-life exposure to a stress-relevant hormone.
- Glucocorticoid–temperature association is shaped by foraging costs in individual zebra finches
Summary: The association between baseline corticosterone and temperature was steeper in zebra finches living in a high- versus low-foraging-costs environment, which supports the metabolic explanation of glucocorticoid variation.
- Physiological responses to elevated temperature across the geographic range of a terrestrial salamander
Summary: Salamanders from warmer localities may be more resilient to climate warming because they increase ingestion to counterbalance the energetic demands of elevated temperatures, whereas those from cooler localities do not.
- Independent and combined effects of egg pro- and anti-oxidants on gull chick phenotype
Summary: Supplementation of either vitamin E or corticosterone in the egg reduces body mass of gull hatchlings; combined administration of the two compounds nullifies their independent effects.
