title: Blood chemistry changes in food-deprived herring gulls.
abstract: Blood chemistry changes caused by food-stress was measured in fledgling herring gulls (Larus argentatus). Increases of corticosterone, T3, free fatty acids, glucose, cholesterol and alpha-amino n-butyric acid were observed. Significant decreases were found in the concentrations of 14 of the 26 free amino acids studied.
