Determining adrenocortical activity as a measure of stress in African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) based on faecal analysis
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Zoology • Authors: A. Ganswindt --- Mammal Research Institute, Department of Zoology and Entomology, South Africa A.S.W. Tordiffe --- National Zoological Gardens of South Africa, South Africa E. Stam --- Mammal Research Institute, Department of Zoology and Entomology, South Africa M.J. Howitt --- National Zoological Gardens of South Africa, South Africa F. Jori --- Mammal Research Institute, Department of Zoology and Entomology, South AfricaLittle is known about the levels of stress experienced by African buffalos affected by injury, disease, or socio-ecological and anthropogenic factors. To be able to start filling this gap, we examined the suitability of two 11-oxoaetiocholanolone enzyme-immunoassays (EIAs) detecting 11,17... -
Latest diagnostic approaches to determine the cause of ACTH-dependent Cushing’s syndrome, in the South African setting
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Journal of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes of South Africa • Authors: Elmo Pretorius --- Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Division of Endocrinology, Department of Medicine, South Africa Razaan Davis --- Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Division of Radiodiagnosis, Department of Medical Imaging and Clinical Oncology, South Africa Alexander Doruyter --- Faculty of Medicine and Health Science, Division of Nuclear Medicine, Department of Medical Imaging and Clinical Oncology, South Africa Brynne Ascott-Evans --- Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Division of Endocrinology, Department of Medicine, South AfricaA case of a 50-year-old woman who was referred for the evaluation of possible ACTH-dependent Cushing’s syndrome (CS) is described. The localisation of ACTH-dependent CS remains difficult despite many advances in diagnostic approaches. No single test can accurately determine the... -
Non-invasive assessment of adrenocortical activity as a measure of stress in leopards Panthera pardus
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Zoology • Authors: Andrea B Webster --- Endocrine Research Laboratory, Department of Anatomy and Physiology, South Africa Richard EJ Burroughs --- Department of Production Animal Studies. Faculty of Veterinary Science, South Africa Peter Laver --- Endocrine Research Laboratory, Department of Anatomy and Physiology, South Africa André Ganswindt --- Endocrine Research Laboratory, Department of Anatomy and Physiology, South AfricaLeopards Panthera pardus are classified in the IUCN Red List as Vulnerable, primarily due to habitat loss, natural prey base depletion and exploitation caused by various anthropogenic activities. Although protected areas are important for leopard conservation, the majority of suitable...
