ACTH Challenge: Stress Response Across Tadpole Development
Get PDFBackground
HPA axis: the pathway that the body takes in response to stress
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) tells the adrenal gland to release glucocorticoids which are considered “stress” hormones1
Glucocorticoids (GCs, cortisol and corticosterone) move energy in the body to facilitate flight or flight responses
Prolonged increase of GCs can have a long-term impact on morphology, immune response, and overall survival
In amphibians, glucocorticoids have a role in metamorphosis, so we predicted that different stages of development have a different response in the HPA A
Some stressors of Dyeing Poison Frog (Dendrobates tinctorious) tadpoles are predators, cannibalistic conspecifics, temperature and salinity change
