TLDR
The information covered in this review will describe the major steps in the development of the HPA axis in the chicken embryo and show that the chicken has an emblematic HPA neuroendocrine axis.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Glucocorticoids: mediators of vertebrate ontogenetic transitions.
TL;DR: Glucocorticoids directly promote maturation of critical organs before birth/hatch in mammals and birds and are potential candidates for the timing of fledging in birds, although further studies are needed to determine the causal relationship.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal stress in birds: pathways, effects, function and perspectives.
TL;DR: The results suggest that besides prenatal exposure to cortic testosterone itself, maternal corticosterone affects offspring's behaviour and physiology via alteration of other egg components, however, results are inconsistent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-breeding feather concentrations of testosterone, corticosterone and cortisol are associated with subsequent survival in wild house sparrows
Lee Koren,Shinichi Nakagawa,Shinichi Nakagawa,Terry Burke,Kiran K. Soma,Katherine E. Wynne-Edwards,Eli Geffen +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that feathers grown during the post-nuptial moult in autumn contained testosterone, corticosterone and cortisol levels that were significantly higher in birds that subsequently died over the following winter than in Birds that survived.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of glucocorticoid in developmental programming: evidence from zebrafish.
TL;DR: Use of zebrafish as a model may lead to significant insights into the conserved role of glucocorticoids during early development with potential implications in biomedical research, including fetal stress syndromes in humans.
Book ChapterDOI
Pituitary gland development and disease: from stem cell to hormone production.
Shannon W. Davis,Buffy S. Ellsworth,María Inés Pérez Millán,Peter Gergics,Vanessa Schade,Nastaran Foyouzi,Michelle L. Brinkmeier,Amanda H. Mortensen,Sally A. Camper +8 more
TL;DR: In the next decade, the authors anticipate gleaning a deeper appreciation of these processes at the molecular level, insight into the development of the hypophyseal portal blood system, and evolution of better therapeutics for congenital and acquired hormone deficiencies and for common craniopharyngiomas and pituitary adenomas.

Progress in Comparative Endocrinology
TL;DR: This book is a handsome volume containing the proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Comparative Endocrinology, which was held at Oiso, Japan, June 5-11, 1961.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ontogenetic steroidogenesis by testes, ovary, and adrenals of embryonic and postembryonic chickens (Gallus domesticus).
TL;DR: Results indicate that the chicken embryonic ovary is much more active in production and secretion of sex hormones with special reference to estrogenic hormones than are the embryonic testes, and it is strongly suggested that the sex of the avian species is basically male, having homozygosity of sex chromosomes (ZZ), and that the estrogens secreted by the embryonic Ovary have important roles in female sex differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional development of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal-adrenal cortex axis in the chick embryo, Gallus domesticus.
Phyllis M. Wise,B. E. Frye +1 more
TL;DR: The authors showed that the hypothalamo-hypophyseal-adrenal axis is functional before hatching in chicks, and the pituitary becomes important in maintaining both the resting level of hormone and the stress response between days 14 and 16 of incubation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A developmental study of the levels of progesterone, corticosterone, cortisol, and cortisone circulating in plasma of chick embryos.
TL;DR: Blood plasma collected from chick embryos and from 2-day-old chicks was deproteinized, extracted, and the steroid hormones separated by column chromatography determined using the competitive protein-binding globulin method of Murphy (1967).
