Robustness and sustainable breeding : pathophysiological and molecular hypotheses. The hypothalamic-pituitary adrenocortical (HPA) axis is the most important stress-responsive neuroendocrine system. Cortisol (or corticosterone) released by the adrenal cortices exerts a large range of effects on the metabolisms, the immune system, inflammatory processes, and brain function, for example. Large individual variations have been described in HPA axis activity, with important physiopathological consequences. In terms of animal production, higher cortisol levels have negative effects on growth rate and feed efficiency and increases the fat/ lean ratio of carcasses. On the contrary, cortisol has positive effects on traits related to robustness and a...
