For decades, demands associated with the predictable life-history cycle have been
considered stressful and have not been distinguished from stress that occurs in association …

Painted turtles can accumulate lactic acid to extremely high concentrations during long-term
anoxic submergence, with plasma lactate exceeding 200 mmol l− 1. The aims of this review …

Elevated plasma corticosterone during stressful events is linked to rapid changes in
behavior in vertebrates and can mediate learning and memory consolidation. We tested the …

The potential of mitotane (ortho, para′-DDD, commonly used to treat adrenal carcinomas in
humans and dogs) was investigated as an alternative to surgical adrenalectomy in birds …

Aggressive encounters are accompanied by a release of stress hormone, and this
corticosterone (CORT) secretion could influence aggressive behavior in subsequent …

Exposure to acute stressors can induce multiple physiological changes in vertebrates such
as altering circulating hormone and enzyme levels as well as leukocyte counts, and …

Lack of food is one of the most common natural stressors that animals face, yet the
physiological response to food restriction in most nonmammalian species is poorly …

We examined the association between green turtle nesting activities and plasma profiles of
