Plasma corticosterone of city and desert Curve-billed Thrashers, Toxostoma curvirostre, in response to stress-related peptide administration

HB Fokidis, P Deviche - Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A …, 2011 - Elsevier
We compared the activity and responsiveness of the hypothalamo–pituitary–adrenal (HPA)
axis of an urban (Phoenix, Arizona) and desert population of a male songbird species
(Curve-billed Thrasher, Toxostoma curvirostre), by measuring plasma corticosterone in
response to acute administration of corticotropin-releasing factor, arginine vasotocin, or
adrenocorticotropin hormone. Urban adult male thrashers showed greater responsiveness
than desert birds to an injection of arginine vasotocin or adrenocorticotropin hormone …
