Influence of the pituitary-adrenal axis on the induced release of luteinizing hormone in rams

Journal of Endocrinology (1983)

J.W. Fuquay Gary P. Moberg

Treatment of intact rams with ACTH increased plasma corticosteroids and significantly reduced the ability of LH releasing hormone (LHRH) to elicit the release of LH. Infusion of cortisol at a rate which increased plasma corticosteroid concentrations to above that observed after injection of ACTH did not affect the ability of LHRH to induce the release of LH. In adrenalectomized rams LH release in response to LHRH was inhibited during ACTH treatment but was not affected in the absence of ACTH. Therefore, ACTH reduced the responsiveness of the anterior pituitary gland to LHRH through a mechanism not involving the adrenal gland.

Adrenocortical Response to Novelty Stress in Rats with Dentate Gyrus Lesions

Neuroendocrinology (1980)

Lynne L. Johnson Gary P. Moberg

Male rats exposed to a novel environment exhibited a marked rise of plasma corticosterone in response to the initial exposure. These animals showed a significant but not complete habituation of their adrenal response after 18 exposures. Following their first exposure to a novel environment, animals with bilateral lesions in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus had plasma corticosterone concentrations which were significantly lower than those observed for the control animals. Whereas the control groups demonstrated a significant decrease in their adrenal response following 18 exposures (habituation), there was no decrease of the adrenocortical response to novelty stress within the dentate-lesioned group between trials 1 and 18. The effect of the dentate lesions appeared to be specific to the behavioral stress: dentate lesions failed to alter resting levels, or the animal's adrenal responses to laparotomy stress and ether inhalation.

A Model for Assessing the Impact of Behavioral Stress on Domestic Animals

Journal of Animal Science (1987)

Gary P. Moberg

Animal scientists need a reliable measure of behavioral stress in domestic animals if they are going to be able to assess the stress of various management practices and to answer public concern about the well-being of animals used in agriculture. Popular measures of stress, alterations in behavior or changes in hormone secretion, are not adequate because of a failure to establish any direct correlation between changes in these characteristics with adverse effects on animal well-being. Further complicating the use of these indicators of stress is the variation in their pattern of response to different kinds of stressors. Even the same stressor can elicit divergent responses in different animals because of inter-animal variation in the stress response. To address these problems, a model of animal stress is discussed and tested. From this model it is proposed that the best indicator of an animal suffering from stress is the development of a pre-pathological state; i.e., a stress-related change in biological function that threatens the animal's well-being. Examples of such pre-pathological states would be a suppression of the immune system, the loss of reproductive events critical for normal reproduction, or the development of behaviors that would lead to such undesirable acts as tail-biting or excessive fighting. Although determining the existence of such pre-pathological states is not convenient, their existence is currently the only defensible indicator of an animal suffering from behavioral stress.
