(2016-01-01)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the response of blue-fronted parrots to restraint procedures and separation by non-invasive methods such as measurement of glucocorticoid metabolites in droppings. For this, we utilized ...
Stress in wild Greater Rhea populations: effects of agricultural activities on seasonal excreted glucocorticoid metabolite levels
(Springer, 2014-05)
In recent years, wild populations of Greater Rhea (Rhea americana) have declined drastically, due mainly to the conversion of grassland into cropland as a result of intensive, specialized agricultural practices. In this ...
Stress in captive Blue-fronted parrots (Amazona aestiva): The animalists'tale
(2019-01-01)
Understanding stress physiology is crucial for species management because high levels of stress can reduce reproduction and the individual's ability to face threats to survive. One of the most popular methods for non-invasive ...
Measuring faecal glucocorticoid metabolites as a non-invasive tool for monitoring adrenocortical activity in South American camelids
(Universities Federation for Animal Welfare, 2013)
The welfare and productivity of South American camelids may be affected by stressful events. The purpose of this study was to validate a non-invasive Method: for stress monitoring using faecal samples and to apply it to ...
Increased urinary glucocorticoid metabolites are associated with metabolic syndrome, hypoadiponectinemia, insulin resistance and β cell dysfunction
(2011)
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) may have increased cortisol (F) production caused by 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β-HSD1) in liver and adipose tissue and/or by HPA axis dysregulation. F is then mainly metabolized by ...
