“…Rana spp. that lived in polluted water reported increased eosinophil counts and decreased neutrophil counts (Romanova and Romanova, 2003). B. arenarum exposed to pesticides showed increased neutrophil counts (Cabagna et al, 2005) while in another study the bullfrog showed no effect of atrazine on its differential WBC populations (Marcogliese et al, 2009).However, higher neutrophil/lymphocytes ratio (NLR) is considered as a general physiological stress response in animals (ForbesMR and Shutler, 2006;DavisAK and Maerz, 2008).…”

“…The use of leukocyte profiles to measure stress is exhibited by amphibians in some studies (Romanova & Romanova 2003, Davis et al 2008, Shutler et al 2009). The immunity is diminished during stress response to redirect resources towards activities that are more immediately valuable to survival (Sapolsky et al 2000).…”

Pesq. Vet. Bras. 32(Supl. The aim of this study was to evaluate alterations to the physiological profile (cortisol, glycaemia, and blood parameters) of Lithobates catesbeianus caused by the stressors density and hypoxia. The organisms were in the prometamorphosis stage and exposed to different tadpole densities: 1 tadpole/L (T1), 5 tadpoles/L (T2), and 10 tadpoles/L (T3) for 12 days. The blood was collected through the rupture of the caudal blood vessel and collected under normoxia (immediate collection) and hypoxia (after 15 minutes of air exposure) conditions. Cortisol levels rose on the fourth and eighth days of treatment and returned to basal levels by the end of the experiment. The stressor mechanisms tested did not affect glycaemia. White blood cells (total number of lymphocytes, neutrophils, and eosinophils) showed a significant difference at the twelfth day of the experiment when compared with the start of the experiment. We concluded that, under controlled conditions, a density of up to 10 tadpoles/L and air exposure for 15 minutes did not cause harmful physiological alterations during the experimental period. The answer to these stressors maybe was in another hormonal level (corticosterone).
