Hormonal results may be compromised in field samples maintained without cold storage. This study determined that progestagen, testosterone and cortisol concentrations in blood with anticoagulant were stable at 37°C up to 62 h. Without anticoagulant, progestagens also were stable, but cortisol and testosterone in blood decreased over time.
