Stress and elevated cortisol levels are associated with pathological heart growth and
cardiovascular disease in humans and other mammals. We recently established a link …

Stress and elevated plasma cortisol in salmonids have been linked with pathological
remodeling of the heart and deterioration of fitness and welfare. However, these …

Juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) held in pairs form dominance hierarchies in
which subordinate individuals experience chronic social stress accompanied by lowered …

Corticosteroids are key regulatory hormones involved in many aspects of physiology and
have long been known to exert rapid and delayed effects. The delayed corticosteroid effects …

Chronic stress resulting from social interactions impacts the endocrine stress response in
many vertebrates, including teleost fishes. Juvenile rainbow trout held in pairs form a …

The activation of genomic signaling in response to stressor-mediated cortisol elevation has
been studied extensively in teleosts. However, very little is known about the rapid signaling …

Two lines of rainbow trout selected for high (HR) and low (LR) responsiveness to a
standardised confinement stressor displayed a sustained divergence in plasma cortisol …

Chronic stress detrimentally affects animal health and homeostasis, with somatic growth,
