Neuroendocrinological regulation to stress response in domesticated canines

Abstract

This thesis discusses the possible modes of interaction between the CNS and the hormonal system, especially the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which plays a central role in 1 regulating the body's response to stress. Control of stress in domesticated dogs is of vital importance in maintaining the balance of the body and to have them acclimatize to changes around them. When dogs face stress, the HPA axis is activated, which triggers the release of glucocorticoids, primarily cortisol. This allows the management of various body procedures during stress.
