Overview

Jean Rivier was affiliated with the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in the United States. Their research contributions spanned several key areas within medicine and agricultural and biological sciences, with a focus on stress responses, gastrointestinal motility and disorders, dermatology, and animal science.

Their work explored specific topics such as stress responses and cortisol levels, gastrointestinal motility and disorders, dermatology and skin diseases, animal nutrition and physiology, animal behavior and welfare studies, and the effects of environmental stressors on livestock.

Throughout their career, Rivier collaborated frequently with several researchers including Dominic P. Behan, Betty R. McConn, B. T. Richert, John Scott Radcliffe, and D. C. Lay. These collaborations contributed to a variety of published studies.

They published research articles in multiple scientific venues, including:

  • Peptides
  • Journal of Animal Science
  • Frontiers in Physiology

Their notable papers include:

  • "Peripheral CRF-R1/CRF-R2 antagonist, astressin C, induces a long-lasting blockade of acute stress-related visceral pain in male and female rats," published in 2022 in Peptides
  • "154 Evaluating the effects of prophylactic antibiotics on intestinal health in pigs given a corticotropin-releasing factor antagonist during weaning and transport," published in 2020 in Journal of Animal Science
  • "Interactions between corticotropin releasing factor signaling and prophylactic antibiotics on measures of intestinal function in weaned and transported pigs," published in 2023 in Frontiers in Physiology

Rivier's research advanced the understanding of interactions between stress-related hormones and gastrointestinal function, particularly in animal models such as rats and pigs. Their work addressed both fundamental biological mechanisms and applied aspects relevant to animal welfare and health management.
