Rhesus plasma cortisol response at four dominance positions

Effect of Housing Conditions on Cortisol and Body Fat Levels in Female Rhesus Macaques

“…Although social subordinates often have higher cortisol levels compared to dominants in NHPs [43][44][45][46], we found that HCCs were independent of dominance rank in both housing conditions. Control and predictability are commonly mentioned as important factors herein [22,47].…”

Social and reproductive influences on plasma cortisol in female marmoset monkeys

“…Circulating glucocorticoid levels in both dominant and subordinate individuals are typically elevated during periods of hierarchy formation or social instability (14,24,25,(38)(39)(40)54). Moreover, in established social groups, measures of HPA function, such as plasma glucocorticoid concentrations or adrenal weight, are frequently greater in subordinate individuals than in their dominant counterparts [ (7,18,53,57), but see (15)].…”

Involvement of Cholecystokininergic Systems in Anxiety-Induced Hyperalgesia in Male Rats: Behavioral and Biochemical Studies

“…This paradigm resulted in a hyperactivity of hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal (HPA) axis, as shown by the increase of serum corticosterone levels as well as adrenal weights and a decrease of body weight and sweet-water consumption, suggesting that this procedure induced a prolonged state of anxiety. Previous studies have shown that subordinate animals submitted to social stress have higher glucocorticoid levels, as indices of stress, related to their fearfulness (Chamove and Bowman, 1978). Adrenal weight is a classic sign widely used as a marker of stress reflecting the hyperactivity of the HPA axis (Coenen and Van Luijtelaar, 1985;Alario et al, 1987;Blanchard et al, 1998;Ruis et al, 1999).…”
