Abstract: The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis regulates the secretion of glucocorticoids, hormones with diverse roles ranging from regulating daily metabolic demand to coping with sudden perturbations. As a result, glucocorticoids are thought to help vertebrates track their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2022.1235
Abstract: Fluctuations in environmental temperature affect energy metabolism, stimulating the expression of phenotypic plasticity in behavioral and physiological traits. Vertebrate hormonal signals like glucocorticoids underpin environmentally-induced phenotypic plasticity, with changes in circulating concentrations orchestrating plastic changes… read more here.
