... be the consequence of developmental programming of basic systemic processes such as adrenocortical activity or metabolic rate. We investigated whether experimentally increased in ovo exposure to testosterone influenced hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal function, i.e. baseline and stress-induced corticosterone secretion...

.... The adaptability of the developmental programming of offspring would depend on the environment encountered. Smears previously made were stained with May–Grünwald–Giemsa and used to count and differentiate sub-populations of leucocytes (heterophils, basophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes and monocytes), counting...

... hypoxia. Developmental programming Phenotypic plasticity Crocodilian Reptile Hypoxia During the past two decades, exposure to different oxygen levels has been used to investigate the plasticity of the embryonic cardiovascular system in egg-laying species. Phenotypic changes have been...

... between these two physiological systems, coupled with potential for persistent changes to HPA axis activity following developmental stress, components of the neuroimmune system could be targets for developmental programming. However, little is known of any programming effects of developmental stress...
