The next step for stress research in primates: To identify relationships between glucocorticoid secretion and fitness
JC Beehner, TJ Bergman - Hormones and Behavior, 2017 - Elsevier
Glucocorticoids are hormones that mediate the energetic demands that accompany
environmental challenges. It is therefore not surprising that these metabolic hormones have …
