The effects of different weaning modes on the endocrine stress response
INTRODUCTION The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of the stress response on plasma insulin, cortisol, glucose, and urinary vanilmandelic acid during weaning and after extubation, using pressure support (PS), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and T-piece modes. METHODS Sixty patients were randomly divided into three groups (n = 20). The PS group received FiO2 </...
متن کاملEffect of age at weaning on the physiological stress response and temperament of two beef cattle breeds.
The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of age at weaning and breed on the stress response of calves to weaning and their temperament. At calving, 14 Parda de Montaña calves and 14 Pirenaica calves were randomly assigned to either early weaning (at 90 days) or traditional weaning (at 150 days) treatment. During nursing, calves were allowed to suckle their dams twice a day for 30 min. Aft...
متن کاملPrenatal stress effects on pig development and response to weaning.
Exposing a pregnant sow to stress has been shown to affect the resulting offspring. Our objective was to determine if rough handling of pregnant sows altered the physiology of her offspring and if these alterations were different from an experimentally induced model of prenatal stress. Sow treatments consisted of i.v. injections of ACTH (1 IU/kg of BW), exposure to rough handling for 10 min (Ro...
متن کاملThe Endocrine Response to Stress - A Comparative View
1.1 The stress concept The word stress is used extensively to name a situation of tension that can be applied to living organisms such as animals or plants but also to ecosystems or in geological phenomena. Nevertheless, the concept of biological stress is closely connected to the historic development of the meaning of this word by Hans Selye after his short paper in Nature (Selye, 1936), follo...
متن کاملVascular heat shock protein expression in response to stress. Endocrine and autonomic regulation of this age-dependent response.
Adaptation to stress requires coordinated interactions between the vascular and endocrine systems. Previously we demonstrated that restraint stress induces the expression of the major heat shock protein, HSP70, in the adrenal cortex of the rat. Here we demonstrate that restraint also induces expression of HSP70 in the vasculature. We further demonstrate that the adrenal and vascular responses a...
