Snippet: This study shows that commonly described features of PPID are found in the Southern Hemisphere but that more unusual findings also warrant investigation of endocrine disorders. Cortisol is commonly used as an indicator of physiological stress. Traditional samples (e.g., blood, urine, saliva) to measure cortisol secretion have proven to adequately assess short term/ acute response to stress, while hair cortisol concentration (HCC) is increasingly .....
Document: This study shows that commonly described features of PPID are found in the Southern Hemisphere but that more unusual findings also warrant investigation of endocrine disorders. Cortisol is commonly used as an indicator of physiological stress. Traditional samples (e.g., blood, urine, saliva) to measure cortisol secretion have proven to adequately assess short term/ acute response to stress, while hair cortisol concentration (HCC) is increasingly being used to assess long-term stress in mammals. The purpose of the study was to analyze HCC in whole hair and hair segments to investigate potential effects of body location and surgical procedure (castration) on HCC in horses.
