Somatomedin activity, cortisol and free fatty acids have been measured in the plasma of eight Pietrain pigs at various times after stress. Somatomedin activity decreased immediately, reached a minimum after 15 min and remained low throughout a 3·5 h period. Cortisol levels rose to a peak after 15 min and regained normal levels after 60 min. Free fatty acid levels increased to a peak level about 3 h after stress.
The possibility of inhibitors of the bioassay for somatomedin activity influencing the results are discussed.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
