Changes in the colonic temperature and metabolism during immobilization stress in repetitively immobilized or cold-acclimated rats.

چکیده
Effect of immobilization stress on the rat colonic temperature and metabolism was studied in a warm environment of 25 degrees C. Immobilization for 3 hr caused hyperthermia accompanied by increased oxygen consumption (VO2) in the warm controls. The hyperthermic effect of immobilization was accelerated after 1 week repetition of daily immobilization and it was lessened after 2 to 4 week repetition of daily immobilization. The magnitude of VO2 increase was the same throughout the experimental period of 4 weeks during the immobilization. Hypothermia was never observed during immobilization. Immobilization-induced hyperthermia was significantly potentiated in the cold-acclimated rats, while VO2 increase did not differ between cold-acclimated rats and warm controls. These results suggest that immobilization stress causes the changes in body temperature through thermogenic and heat-loss mechanisms.

Effect of Prenatal Stress and Serotonin Depletion on Postnatal Serotonin Metabolism in Wistar Rats
Prenatal stress in rats results in structural, physiological and behavioral alterations that persist in adulthood. Serotonin (5-HT) is an important neurotransmitter known to be involved in these prenatal stress-induced behavioral alterations. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of interrupted synthesis of 5-HT and immobilization stress during different gestational period on brai...

Background & Objective: Stress contributes to sleep-wake behavior in all animals. It seems that factors such as learning and memory processes can improve sleep disorders. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the effects of stress and learning (spatial memory) on total post-stress rapid-eye-movement (REM), non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) and waking time in rats. Materials & Met...
