Because it has been documented that handling rats is a stressor and that plasma glucocorticoid levels increase ... To quantify our observations, we measured corticosterone (the glucocorticoids present ...

When faced with an alarming predator odor, offspring of chronically stressed mice dads overproduce the stress hormone corticosterone. But mice dads that lacked this receptor in the epididymis had ...

Some mice were exposed to acute stress or given a stress hormone (corticosterone) before this training. The researchers then used advanced imaging and genetic techniques to examine changes in ...

Table 2 Metabolic parameters after 14-day SC administration of PrRP analogs in fasted DIO mice Full size table Plasma corticosterone level significantly increased after myr-PrRP20 and palm-PrRP31 ...

Importantly, administering metyrapone, a chemical that inhibits the synthesis of corticosterone, before the mice were exposed to the stress reversed that effect without altering the memory of the ...
