Pathophysiology of Stress in Wild and Managed-Care Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)

Abstract

The overall goal of the proposed research is to characterize the pathophysiology of stress in wild and managed-care bottlenose dolphins and to establish relationships between markers of the stress response in cetaceans and immune function, dependent hormonal endpoints, hematology and serum chemistry parameters, biomarkers of stress, inflammation and metabolism and health status.
