Association of glucocorticoid with stress-induced modulation of body temperature, blood glucose and innate immunity

To know the details of the mechanism on stress-associated responses, attention was first focused on body temperature and blood glucose after stress. Mice were exposed to restraint stress for 6 h. Under this condition, hypothermia (39 °C → 33 °C) and hyperglycemia (150 mg/dl → 350 mg/dl) were induced. Reflecting a stress-associated response, an increase […]
