Stress and reproduction in male garter snakes

Creator:: Moore, Ignacio T.
Abstract:: Animals respond to stressful situations with increases in plasma levels of glucocorticoid stress hormones. These hormones originate from the adrenal cortex in response to stimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Glucocorticoids (corticosterone in reptiles) function to mobilize energy and suppress unnecessary functions until the stress passes. Among these immediately unnecessary functions...

The effects of altered photoperiod and of sound stimulation on feeding and other behaviors of dairy cattle and sheep

Creator:: Tanida, Hajime
Abstract:: I. The Effect of Artificial Photoperiod on Eating Behavior and Other Behavioral Observations of Dairy Cows. Twenty-eight cows were randomly assigned to a dairy photoperiod of 18 h light and 6 h darkness or to continuous light and observed 1 d each month from December 1981 to February 19.82. Lighting...

Effects of acute stress and exercise on subsequent seawater adaptation and cortisol dynamics in juvenile steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Creator:: Liebert, Anja M.
Abstract:: The present study investigated the effects of stress and exercise on seawater (SW) adaptation and cortisol dynamics in juvenile steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss). To examine the effects of stress, fish acclimated to freshwater (FW) were subjected for 3 hours to confinement stress in FW, and subsequently SW (25 ppt) was introduced...

Aspects of the social structure of the California ground squirrel (Spermophilus beecheyi) in western Oregon

Creator:: Bickford, Carol E.
Abstract:: A population of Spermophilus beecheyi was studied to determine patterns of individual spacing, behavioral interactions among different sex and age classes, and the relationship between aspects of S. beecheyi social structure and sociality to those of other sciurids. Research was conducted on a population of squirrels living in an abandoned...

Glutathione peroxidase and selenium distribution in semen and reproductive tissues of farm animals

Creator:: Alabi, Nathaniel Sigismund
Abstract:: This study was conducted to investigate the distribution of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and selenium in semen of the boar, bull, ram and stallion, and in the reproductive tissues of the boar, bull and ram. The effect of repeated noncryoprotective freeze-thawing on GSH-Px activity was also studied. Both hydrogen peroxide (H₂0₂)...

Temporal effects of Dexamethasone on skeletal muscle protein metabolism in rabbits

Creator:: Yeh, Jan-ying
Abstract:: Glucocorticoids are growth-inhibiting steroids. They have been reported to reduce muscle growth by reducing protein synthesis. However, their actions on muscle protein degradation remain equivocal. Glucocorticoids have been reported to transiently increase muscle protein degradation, to not affect this process and to reduce muscle protein degradation. Reasons for these conflicting...

Seasonal dynamics of a riparian food web in the Oregon Coast Range mountains

Creator:: Robillard, Amanda Lynn
Abstract:: Riparian areas are eco-tones where aquatically- and terrestrially-derived insect biomass is exchanged between habitats, presenting consumers with new sources of energy, and resulting in a reciprocal subsidy. The relative contribution of energy exchange and the resulting impacts on vertebrate riparian consumers, such as fish or birds, remains poorly understood. We...
