From: Gene expression in the brain and kidney of rainbow trout in response to handling stress
Expression of stress-responsive genes. A: Experiments. 1–6: response to handling stress, this study. Kidney, 1 day (1), 3 days (2) and 5 days (3); brain, 1 day (4), 3 days (5) and 5 days (6). 7–12: response to handling stress and exogenous cortisol in kidney. Cortisol, 1 day (7) and 3 days (8); stress, 1 day (9) and 3 days (10), combination of stress and injection of cortisol, 1 day (11) and 3 days (12). 13–20: exposure of yolk sac fry to model contaminants [34]. β-naphthoflavone, low (13) and high (14) dose; cadmium, low (15) and high (16) dose; carbon tetrachloride, low (17) and high (18) dose; pyrene, low (19) and high (20) dose. 21–22: response of yolk sac fry to transportation stress, rainbow trout (21) and Atlantic salmon (22). Ranks are coded with color scale; correlation coefficients (Pearson r) with the mean expression profile are indicated. B-C: the mean ranks ± SE of the stress-responsive genes in 3 experiments. A: this study; B – response to handling stress and injection of cortisol in kidney; C – exposure of yolk sac fry to β-naphthoflavone, cadmium and pyrene at low, medium and high doses.
