Influence of Corticosterone Infusion on Plasma Levels of Catecholamines, Thyroid Hormones, and Certain Metabolites in Laying Hens

Abstract: Corticosterone was infused continuously through subcutaneously implanted mini-osmotic pumps into laying White Leghorn hens at the rate of 30 micrograms/hr for 14 or 28 days. In both groups receiving corticosterone, plasma levels of glucose and triglycerides were not altered significantly. Circulating levels of cholesterol and free fatty acids increased significantly following both 14 and 28-day infusions of the hormone. Corticosterone treatment for 28 days produced significant increases in plasma levels of thy… Show more

“…The obesity of the 5-HTT −/− mice is consistent with published data and is associated with increased plasma levels of insulin, leptin, cholesterol and triglycerides (Murphy and Lesch 2008). Their high plasma unesterified fatty acid concentrations may be related to adrenocorticotropic hormone and corticosterone elevations and to anxiety-related behaviors (Gottschalk et al, 1969; John et al, 1987; Murphy and Lesch 2008). …”

“…Corticosterone also induced circulating insulin (Bisbis et al, 1994). In addition, the effects may be indirect in that exogenous corticosterone produces changes in other hormones of intermediary metabolism such as thyroid hormones, growth hormone, prolactin, somatomedin C and norepinephrine (John et al, 1987;Saadoun et al, 1987).…”
