Physiological Stress in Birds

H. S. Siegel
- 01 Aug 1980 - 
TL;DR: This quotation and the subsequent publication of the details of the General Adaptation Syndrome (Selye 1937) have become the basis for a vast number of studies on the subject of stress in animals.

Endocrine Responses of White-Crowned Sparrows to Environmental Stress

TL;DR: The effects of selected assumed stressors on the plasma concentrations of corticosterone, luteinizing hormone, and sex steroid hormones in White-crowned Sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys) were assessed.

TL;DR: Although stress responses may be necessary for survival in wild bird populations, they are often detrimental to efficient growth, skeletal integrity and disease resistance in domesticated fowl.

Model of physiological stress in chickens 1. Response parameters.

TL;DR: This model is the first to show in a single experiment all the major adaptive stress responses of chickens, as well as relative weights of the major immunobiological organs, which were decreased and increased due to lipid and moisture accumulation.

Selection of Japanese Quail for Contrasting Blood Corticosterone Response to Immobilization

TL;DR: Japanese quail were divergently selected for 12 generations for increased (high stress, HS) and decreased (low stress, LS) blood corticosterone (B) response to unfamiliar environments and across nine generations of selection, the HS line exhibited a mean serum B response that was approximately 58% greater than that of the random-bred (control stress, CS) line.

Some Studies of the Protein-Binding of Steroids and Their Application to the Routine Micro and Ultramicro Measurement of Various Steroids in Body Fluids by Competitive Protein-Binding Radioassay

TL;DR: A 100-fold increase in sensitivity has now been achieved by using tritiated steroids in place of 14C-labeled steroids, by utilizing the CBG's of species other than man, and by using adsorption in Place of dialysis or gel filtration.

Determination of corticosterone in plasma by fluorometric techniques.

TL;DR: Four brief fluorometric methods for the determination of corticosterone were compared with a thoroughly validated extended fluorometric method which included chromatographic purification of the steroid, and were found to be grossly inaccurate when applied to avian adrenal plasma.
