摘要：

Indicators of a generalized stress response (changes in cortisol, glucose, RNA : DNA ratio and total protein) when measured in whole-body preparations of individual three-spined sticklebacks Gasterosteus aculeatus displaced significant alterations in response to acute (hours) and chronic (days) disturbances and food withdrawal. In addition, changes in alkali-labile phosphorous. a specific biomarker of exposure to oestrogenic contaminants, could be detected in whole-body preparations of oestrogen-exposed three-spined sticklebacks confirming that the measurement of biomarkers normally assessed in a specific tissue can be equally possible in whole fish.
