文摘The plasma cortisol and glucose concentrations were determined in mature female striped mullet (Mugil cephalus L . ) subjected to short term intense handling stress . The results indicated that plasma cortisol levels reached a peak 20 min after stress and declined gradually afterwards . The highest concentration of plasma glucose was observed 30 min after stress . The present study showed that the rise of plasma glucose was associated with the plasma cortisol levels .
