Abstract
Noise, as an unavoidable stress (pressure) source in the modern life, affects animals in many ways, both behaviorally and physiologically. Behavioral changes may be driven by changes in hormone secretion in animals. When animals face with noise stress, the neuroendocrine systems, mainly the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, are activated, which promotes the secretion and release of stress hormones, and then leads to a series of behavioral changes. The behavioral changes can be easily observed, but the changes in physiological indicators such as hormone levels need to be accurately measured. Currently, many studies have measured the variations of stress hormone levels in animals under different noise conditions. Taking glucocorticoid as an example, this paper summarizes the different measurement methods of stress hormones, especially the non-invasive measurement methods, and compares the advantages and shortcomings of them. It provides a variety of measurement choices for the study of related issues, and also helps us to further understand the sources of animal stress, in order to provide a better habitat for animals.

Acta Physiologica Sinica (APS) is sponsored by the Chinese Association for Physiological Sciences and Shanghai Institutes of Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and is published bimonthly by the Science Press, China. APS publishes original research articles in the field of physiology as well as research contributions from other biomedical disciplines and proceedings of conferences and symposia of physiological sciences. Besides “Original Research Articles”, the journal also provides columns as “Brief Review”, “Rapid Communication”, “Experimental Technique”, and “Letter to the Editor”. Articles are published in either Chinese or English according to authors’ submission.
