Stressed-Out Lobsters: Crustacean Hyperglycemic Hormone and Stress Proteins, by Ernest S. Chang
“Animals display a variety of stress responses when their regulated physiological systems are extended beyond their normal range. Partial or complete failure of the homeostatic response may lead to increasing physiological disturbance and ultimately death. Biochemical indicators of such stress responses may be more sensitive than physiological responses and hence are more useful in the assessment of the overall health of an animal. In this review of data obtained from my laboratory and those of my collaborators, I focus on alterations in the concentration of circulating crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) and the induction of stress proteins….”
