Acute Restraint Stress Alters Wheel-running Behavior Immediately Following

چکیده
27 In vertebrates, acute stressors, although short in duration, can influence physiology and behavior 28 over a longer time course, which might have important ramifications under natural conditions. In 29 laboratory rats, for example, acute stress has been shown to increase anxiogenic behaviors for days 30 after a stressor. In the present study, we quantified voluntary wheel-running behavior for 22 hours 31 following a restraint stress, and glucocorticoid levels 24 hours post-restraint. We utilized mice 32 from four replicate lines that have been selectively bred for high voluntary wheel-running activity 33 (HR mice) for 60 generations and their non-selected Control (C) lines, to examine potential 34 interactions between exercise propensity and sensitivity to stress. Following six days of wheel 35 access on a 07:00-19:00 photocycle (as during the routine selective-breeding protocol), 80 mice 36 were physically restrained for 40 minutes, beginning at 14:00, while another 80 were left 37 undisturbed. Relative to unrestrained mice, wheel running increased for both HR and C mice 38 during the first hour post-restraint (P < 0.0001), but did not differ two or three hours post-restraint. 39 Wheel running was also examined at four distinct phases of the photoperiod. Running in the 40 period 16:00-18:40 was unaffected by restraint stress and did not differ statistically between HR 41 and C mice. During the period of peak wheel running (19:20-01:40), restrained mice tended to run 42 fewer revolutions (-11%: 2-tailed P = 0.0733), while HR mice ran 473% more than C (P = 43 0.0008), with no restraint-by-linetype interaction. As wheel running declined in the latter part of 44 the scotophase (01:40-06:00), restraint still had no statistical effect on wheel running, but HR 45 again ran more than C (+467%: P = 0.0122). Finally, during the start of the photophase (07:20-46 12:00), restraint increased running by an average of 53% (P = 0.0443) in both linetypes, but HR 47 and C mice did not differ statistically. Mice from HR lines had statistically higher plasma 48 corticosterone concentrations than C mice, with no statistical effect of restraint and no interaction 49 between linetype and restraint. Overall, these results indicate that acute stress can affect 50 3 locomotor activity (or activity patterns) for many hours, with the most prominent effect being an 51 increase in activity during a period of typical inactivity at the start of the photophase, 15-20 hours 52 post-stressor. 53 vigilance, voluntary exercise. 55 56 …

متن کاملVoluntary Wheel Running Initially Increases Adrenal Sensitivity to Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone, which is Attenuated with Long-term Training Running Title: Exercise Transiently Increases Adrenal Sensitivity to ACTH
Although exercise is a common and potent activator of the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis, the effects of exercise on the acute stress response are not well understood. Here, we investigated the effects of short (2wk)and long-term (8wk) voluntary wheel running on adrenal sensitivity to ACTH stimulation and the acute stress response to 5 restraint in male rats.

Several severe stressful situations, e.g., natural disaster, infectious disease out break, and mass casualty, are known to cause anxiety, depression and cognitive impairment, and preventive intervention for these stress complications is worth exploring. We have previously reported that the serotonin-norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor, venlafaxine, as well as voluntary wheel running are ...
