Journal ArticleDOI

Stress in free-ranging mammals: integrating physiology, ecology, and natural history

DeeAnn M. Reeder, +1 more
- 15 Apr 2005 - 
TL;DR: How the activity of the HPA axis at baseline levels follows circadian and circannual rhythms in ways that allow animals to respond to predictable environmental changes is described, focusing largely on the endpoint of this axis, the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and corticosterone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxytocin: behavioral associations and potential as a salivary biomarker.

C. Sue Carter, +7 more
- 01 Mar 2007 - 
TL;DR: Using a sensitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and concentrated samples, the results indicate that measurements of biologically relevant changes in salivary OT are possible and support saliva as a noninvasive source to monitor central neuroendocrine function.

Behavioral Associations and Potential as a Salivary Biomarker

C. Sue Carter, +6 more
TL;DR: Oxytocin (OT) is a neuropeptide that is produced primarily in the hypothalamus and is best known for its role in mammalian birth and lactation as discussed by the authors, but measurements of OT concentration in blood are not frequently performed, and previous attempts to measure OT in saliva have been unsuccessful.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms underlying epigenetic effects of early social experience: The role of neuropeptides and steroids

Bruce S. Cushing, +1 more
- 01 Jan 2005 - 
TL;DR: It is proposed that social interactions during the neonatal period organize the subsequent expression of behavior by altering sensitivity to neuropeptides and steroids, potentially powerful mechanisms through which early social experience can mold subsequent social behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neonatal manipulations of oxytocin alter expression of oxytocin and vasopressin immunoreactive cells in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus in a gender-specific manner.

Yukiyo Yamamoto, +5 more
- 01 Jan 2004 - 
TL;DR: The results revealed that the effects of neonatal manipulation of oxytocin are age-dependent, site-specific and sexually dimorphic and could play a role in the development of male- and female-typical behavior.
