Estrogen replacement suppresses stress-induced cardiovascular responses in ovariectomized rats.
We assessed the hypothesis that chronic estrogen replacement in ovariectomized rats has the beneficial effect of suppressing stress-induced cardiovascular responses through endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). We employed a radiotelemetry system to measure blood pressure and heart rate (HR). Female Wistar rats aged 11 wk were ovariectomized and implanted with radiotelemetry devices. After ...
متن کاملNeurochemical and behavioral responses to cocaine in adult male rats with neonatal isolation experience.
Our research demonstrates that neonatal isolation (ISO; 1 h/day isolation; postnatal days 2-9) enhances extracellular, ventral striatal dopamine (DA) responses to psychostimulants in infant and juvenile rats. In adult rats, we find ISO facilitates acquisition and maintenance of cocaine self-administration. We now test whether ISO enhances cocaine-induced accumbens DA levels in adults using in v...
متن کاملNeurochemical and behavioral effects of 8-OH-DPAT following exposure to restraint stress in rats.
8-Hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine 1A (serotonin; 5-HT1A) agonist was used to evaluate the role of somatodendritic and/or postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors following exposure to restraint stress. Exposure to an episode of 2-h restraint stress decreased 24 h cumulative food intake. Intensity of 8-OH-DPAT-induced 5-HT syndrome monitored next day was sm...
متن کاملPrenatal Restraint Stress Generates Two Distinct Behavioral and Neurochemical Profiles in Male and Female Rats
Prenatal Restraint Stress (PRS) in rats is a validated model of early stress resulting in permanent behavioral and neurobiological outcomes. Although sexual dimorphism in the effects of PRS has been hypothesized for more than 30 years, few studies in this long period have directly addressed the issue. Our group has uncovered a pronounced gender difference in the effects of PRS (stress delivered...
متن کاملEffects of Gladiolus dalenii on the Stress-Induced Behavioral, Neurochemical, and Reproductive Changes in Rats
Gladiolus dalenii is a plant commonly used in many regions of Cameroon as a cure for various diseases like headaches, epilepsy, schizophrenia, and mood disorders. Recent studies have revealed that the aqueous extract of G. dalenii (AEGD) exhibited antidepressant-like properties in rats. Therefore, we hypothesized that the AEGD could protect from the stress-induced behavioral, neurochemical, and...
