Interplay between plasma hormone profiles, sex and body condition in immature hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) subjected to a capture stress protocol

TS Jessop, JM Sumner, CJ Limpus… - … and Physiology Part A …, 2004 - Elsevier
We investigated plasma hormone profiles of corticosterone and testosterone in immature
hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) in response to a capture stress protocol. Further,
we examined whether sex and body condition were covariates associated with variation in
the adrenocortical response of immature turtles. Hawksbill turtles responded to the capture
stress protocol by significantly increasing plasma levels of corticosterone over a 5 h period.
There was no significant sex difference in the corticosterone stress response of immature …
