claimThe inhibitory effect of glucocorticoid hormones on feather development is considered excessively costly for birds during molt.
claimThe ELHS is induced by the elevated secretion of glucocorticoid hormones.
claimThe definition of allostatic load developed by Bruce McEwen and Stellar (1993) and elaborated by Bruce McEwen (1998) refers to specific pathologies associated with chronic stress, particularly chronic exposure to elevated glucocorticoid hormones in humans and laboratory animals.
claimThe Emergency Life History Stage (ELHS) is induced by elevated secretion of glucocorticoid hormones.
claimThe reduced responsiveness to capture-handling stress in molting birds has been interpreted as an indication that the inhibitory effect of glucocorticoid hormones on feather development is excessively costly.
claimThe emergency life-history stage (ELHS) is induced by the elevated secretion of glucocorticoid hormones.
claimIn modern vertebrates, the functions divided between mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid hormones may have originally been performed by a single ancestral corticosteroid receptor.
claimThe ancestral corticosteroid receptor likely performed functions that are divided between mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid hormones in modern vertebrates.
claimAnimals respond to non-starvation stressors via acute elevation of glucocorticoid hormones, indicating that ELHS activation is influenced by factors beyond the internal sensation of substrate biochemistry.
claimMineralocorticoid receptors (MR) bind both glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, whereas glucocorticoid receptors (GR) have lower affinity, bind exclusively to glucocorticoid hormones, and are nearly ubiquitously expressed (Baker et al., 2013).
