Using a chronically placed jugular catheter and a silver electrode, it was possible to monitor short-term changes in the plasma concentration of cortisol and catecholamine in the marsupial sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps) and to monitor both heart and respiration rates. Males judged to be low in the social hierarchy of a particular group were exposed to the whole-body odor of a dominant male from the same social group, a foreign dominant male, or a castrate male. While there was no evidence of a change in any of the physiological parameters when a male was exposed to either a castrate male or a female, a rapid increase occurred in heart rate and plasma concentrations of cortisol, glucose and catecholamine when the donor was a dominant male from the same or a different social group.
使用长期留置的颈静脉导管和银电极，可以监测有袋动物蜜袋鼯（Petaurus breviceps）血浆中皮质醇和儿茶酚胺的短期变化，并监测心率和呼吸频率。将被判断为处于特定群体社会等级较低的雄性暴露于来自同一社会群体的占优势雄性、外来占优势雄性或去势雄性的全身气味中。当雄性暴露于去势雄性或雌性时，没有证据表明任何生理参数发生变化，但当供体是来自同一或不同社会群体的占优势雄性时，心率和皮质醇、葡萄糖和儿茶酚胺的血浆浓度会迅速增加。
