2. 21. Hormones and fluid balance during pregnancy, labor and post partum

   Author : Anitha Risberg; Mats Sjöquist; Kerstin Olsson; Sven Lyrenäs; Karolina Kublickiene; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : cortisol; estradiol; glucose; labour; osmolality; oxytocin; parturition; pregnancy; pregnancy-induced hypertension; progesterone; vasopressin; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to determine any association between plasma oxytocin and vasopressin concentrations and renal water and sodium excretion during normal pregnancy. In addition to investigate changes in concentrations of estradiol, progesterone, oxytocin, cortisol, and glucose in the blood before and in the nearest hours after delivery and if treatment with oxytocin affected these concentrations and the fluid balance during the different stages of labour.

4. 22. Stress Coping Strategies in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

   Author : Joachim Schjolden; Svante Winberg; Felicity Huntingford; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Salmonid fish; Stress coping; Serotonin; Cortisol; Catecholamines; Monoaminoxidase; Tryptophan; Monoamines; Behaviour; Stress; Biologi; Biology; Biologi;

   Abstract : Animals show a great variety in physiological and behavioural responses to stressors. These responses are often bimodally distributed within populations and show consistency on an individual level over time and across situations, which in terrestrial vertebrates have been identified as proactive and reactive stress coping strategies.

5. 23. Behavioural and Neuroendocrine Effects of Stress in Salmonid Fish

   Author : Øyvind Øverli; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Aggression; Behaviour; Brain; Coping; Cortisol; Dominance; Dopamine; Feeding; Hierarchy; Norepinephrine; Responsiveness; Serotonin; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental Biology; miljömedicinsk utvecklingsbiologi;

   Abstract : Stress can affect several behavioural patterns, such as food intake and the general activity level of an animal. The central monoamine neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine are important in the mediation of both behavioural and neuroendocrine stress effects. READ MORE

   Abstract : Background Obesity and associated metabolic dysregulation are linked to impaired cognitive function and alterations in brain structure, which increases the risk of age-related dementia. Increased glucocorticoid (GC) exposure may be a potential mediator of these negative effects on the brain. READ MORE
