Collecting baseline corticosterone samples in the field: is under 3 min good enough?
Evaluating corticosterone (CORT) responses to stress in free-living vertebrates requires knowing the unstressed titers prior to capture. Based upon laboratory data, the assumption has been that samples collected in less than 3 min of capture will reflect these unstressed concentrations. This assumption was tested for six species using samples collected from 945 individuals at 0-6 min after capt...
متن کاملRevisiting the relationship between baseline risk and risk under treatment
BACKGROUND In medical practice, it is generally accepted that the 'effect model' describing the relationship between baseline risk and risk under treatment is linear, i.e. 'relative risk' is constant. Absolute benefit is then proportional to a patient's baseline risk and the treatment is most effective among high-risk patients. Alternatively, the 'effect model' becomes curvilinear when 'odds ra...
متن کاملWhy is there variation in baseline glucocorticoid levels?
In a recent article in TREE, Bonier and colleagues [1] reviewed the support for the Cort-Fitness Hypothesis, which states that baseline glucocorticoid (cort) levels are elevated in individuals, or populations, that experience challenging conditions, therefore signalling low future fitness. The idea is that the optimal level of resources allocated towards self-maintenance (immediate survival) ve...
متن کاملGlucocorticoid feedback sensitivity and adrenocortical responsiveness in posttraumatic stress disorder.
BACKGROUND Decreased basal cortisol levels have been reported in individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). There is evidence for enhanced negative feedback sensitivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in PTSD, which could account for this, but other possible mechanisms have not been ruled out. We examined the HPA axis employing a metyrapone-cortisol infusion protoco...
متن کاملA role for PI 3 Kδ in the impairment of glucocorticoid responsiveness in COPD
26 Background: Glucocorticoid function is markedly impaired in the lungs of patients with 27 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This reduction in glucocorticoid sensitivity may be 28 due to an oxidant-mediated elevation in phosphoinositol 3-kinase signaling. 29 Objective: To determine the role of phosphoinositol 3-kinase in the reduced glucocorticoid 30 responsiveness in chronic obstruc...
