Stress hormone detected in Fukushima dogsJapanese researchers have detected high levels of a stress hormone in dogs abandoned in Fukushima Prefecture in the aftermath of last year's nuclear accident. The team from Azabu University's veterinary medicine department carried out check-ups on 17 dogs over a 10-month period until March. Most of the dogs were being looked after by public healthcare centers. The researchers detected cortisol, a type of stress hormone, in the dogs' urine. The figure of 300 nanograms per milligram of urine was 5 to 10 times higher than the levels found in dogs at health centers in other prefectures. [ link to www3.nhk.or.jp] .
