TLDR
Together these agents appear to determine the complex physiologic responses to a variety of stressors.Abstract:
Stress stimulates several adaptive hormonal responses. Prominent among these responses are the secretion of catecholamines from the adrenal medulla, corticosteroids from the adrenal cortex, and adrenocorticotropin from the anterior pituitary. A number of complex interactions are involved in the regulation of these hormones. Glucocorticoids regulate catecholamine biosynthesis in the adrenal medulla and catecholamines stimulate adrenocorticotropin release from the anterior pituitary. In addition, other hormones, including corticotropin-releasing factor, vasoactive intestinal peptide, and arginine vasopressin stimulate while the corticosteroids and somatostatin inhibit adrenocorticotropin secretion. Together these agents appear to determine the complex physiologic responses to a variety of stressors.read more

Causes and consequences of mass loss upon predator encounter: feeding interruption, stress or fit-for-flight?
I. T. Van Der Veen,L. E. Sivars +1 more
TL;DR: The aim was to distinguish between effects of feeding interruptions and stress or fit-for-flight on the mass loss of Yellowhammers (Emberiza citrinella L.) upon predator exposure, and to respond to that trade-off by altering their diurnal trajectory of mass increase.

Prevalence and determinants of stereotypic behaviours and physiological stress among tigers and leopards in Indian zoos.
TL;DR: To reduce stereotypes and stress level, tigers in captivity should be managed in larger enclosures enriched with pool, and stones, and in appropriate social conditions with adequate veterinary care.

Characterization of a 41-residue ovine hypothalamic peptide that stimulates secretion of corticotropin and beta-endorphin
TL;DR: A peptide with high potency and intrinsic activity for stimulating the secretion of corticotropin-like and β-endorphinlike immunoactivities by cultured anterior pituitary cells has been purified in this paper.

A Syndrome produced by Diverse Nocuous Agents
TL;DR: If the organism is severely damaged by acute non-specific nocuous agents such as exposure to cold, surgical injury, production of spinal shock, excessive muscular exercise, or intoxications with sublethal doses of diverse drugs, a typical syndrome appears, the symptoms of which are independent of the nature of the damaging agent or the pharmacological type of the drug employed.

Simultaneous single isotope radioenzymatic assay of plasma norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine.
TL;DR: Modification of the original single isotope radioenzymatic assay of Passon and Peuler permits the direct and simultaneous analysis of norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine in plasma samples of 50 μl or less.
