The
stress response of the organism depends on a variety of criteria and the same
stressor can elicit totally different stress responses in distinct
individuals. Every animal shows its individual stress response, possibly with
clear changes in some parameters or virtually no changes in others. The
prediction of such individual stress responses via methods which are both
easy to assess and non-invasive would provide significant advantage for the
experimental design in the field of stress research. The model of chronic
psychosocial stress in Tupaia belangeri
was elaborated in the recent years and is based on the pronounced
territoriality of the animals. The aim of the present study was to test a
variety of parameters as potential predictors for the individual stress
responses. It could be shown that the age of the animals, basal body weight,
baseline hormone levels and locomotor activity can serve as predictors for
the extent of the stress response with respective to certain parameters. The
present data provide valuable information for further studies on individual
stress responses. On the basis of the present results it is now possible to
select individual male Tupaia belangeri
according to their baseline values in distinct physiological parameters. For
example, if the focus is on the stress induced changes in body temperature it
is advisable to select younger animals whereas alterations in the sleep
rhythm can be better observed in older animals.
