摘要: Abstract The present study examined the effect of transportation stress on hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis responsiveness to tropic hormone stimulation and abundance corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) receptor R1 (CRFR1) arginine vasopressin (AVP) V3 (V3) mRNAs in anterior pituitary (AP) cattle. Holstein steers were transported for 10 h or used as non-transported controls (NTC). Blood samples collected at start every 1–2 h thereafter. To test AP hormones, animals challenged (i.v.) with CRF (0.5 μg/kg), AVP (1 μg/kg) plus immediately after end blood 30 min 3 h. 0, 4 harvested mRNA analyses. Plasma ACTH increased within 1 h remained elevated 6 8 h versus NTC 0 h values, respectively. concentrations cortisol response throughout transport period. Injection plasma ACTH, but secretion was dramatically reduced animals. following co-injection tended be less animals, almost 100% greater than when secretagogues administered separately. Despite decreased AVP, CRFR1 transportation. Results indicate may regulate duration
