Abstract

Blood levels of cortisol were determined in five yearling Alaskan moose after and exogenous administration of 40 I.U. of ACTH. A rapid elevation of cortisol concentration (over 15μg/100 mL) within 60 min. of ACTH injection demonstrated an unexpectedly high level of adrenocortical response to a simulated stress. The results in moose are compared to several other deer species.
