Glucocorticoid function of adrenals and its reactivity to stress caused by immobilization and to ACTH stimulation have been studied in the male minks selected both for domestic and aggressive behavior towards man. In autumn period the regression of cortisol content in adrenals was observed in domesticated males and particularly in aggressive ones compared with control. At the same period the increased level of cortisol in blood as the result of immobilization was noticed in aggressive minks compared with the domesticated and control ones. At ACTH stimulation in spring time the increase of cortisol level in blood was shown for animals of all the groups but it was more marked for the aggressive ones.
对在家庭环境中表现温顺以及对人具有攻击性的雄性水貂的肾上腺糖皮质激素功能及其对应激（由固定引起）和促肾上腺皮质激素（ACTH）刺激的反应性进行了研究。秋季，与对照组相比，温顺雄性水貂尤其是攻击性雄性水貂的肾上腺皮质醇含量出现下降。同一时期，与温顺和对照水貂相比，攻击性水貂在固定应激后血液中皮质醇水平升高。在春季促肾上腺皮质激素刺激下，所有组动物的血液皮质醇水平均升高，但攻击性水貂更为明显。
