Progesterone, testosterone, 17β-estradiol, cortisol, corticosterone, aldosterone, thyroxine and tri-iodothyronine are detectable in baleen of eight whale species. The presence of a broad array of hormones in baleen of multiple species indicates that baleen hormone analysis may be widely applicable for studies of reproduction, stress and metabolism of the large whales.
