چکیده

introduction: the role of different parts of the extended amygdala in metabolic signs of stress is not well understood. in the present study, we decided to evaluate the impact of the shell part of nucleus accumbens (nac) on metabolic disturbance induced by electro foot shock stress using transient inactivation method in the rat.  methods: male wistar rats (w: 230-250 g) were canuulated unilaterally in the shell part of nucleus accumbens and left one week for recovery. five minutes before each stress session, the animals either received sterile saline (0.25 µl/side) (control) or lidocaine 2% (0.25 µl/side) (experiment). blood samples were taken from rats’ retro-orbital sinus for plasma corticosterone measurements. in addition, animals’ weight gain, food and water intake, locomotor activity, and rearing were recorded.  results: stress reduced weight gain and food intake, increased water intake and plasma corticosterone level, and reduces locomotor activity and rearing. transient inactivation of the right side of the nac inhibits the stress effect on weight gain, water intake and plasma corticosterone level, but not food intake. however, when the left side of the nac was inactivated, only weight gain was affected and other parameters were not differing from stress group. even thought, the plasma corticosterone level was elevated.  conclusion: in conclusion, our data indicated that right side of shell part of nac transient inactivation leads to reduction in metabolic signs of stress but left side of shell part of the nac inactivation even exacerbates stress signs.

Role of NO-ergic system of the he nucleus accumbens in metabolic disturbances under acute stress

Introduction: The aim of the study was to evaluate the involvement of nitricergic system within the shell part of the nucleus accumbens (NAc) by injection of L-arginine, a nitric oxide precursor, and L NAME, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor in the metabolic disturbances induced by acute stress in the male rat. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were cannulated unilaterally in the left par...

Transient inactivation of the central amygdala modulates metabolic and hormonal responses to acute stress in female rats

Introduction: Current study examined the possible role of the central nucleus of amygdala (CeA) transient inactivation on the metabolic and hormonal disturbances induced by acute electro foot shock stress in female rats. Considering the differences between female and male in responses to stress, this study attempts to reveal possible mechanisms underlying these differences. Methods: Uni- or bil...

Effect of transient inactivation of rostral ventromedial medulla on swim stress induced analgesia in formalin test in rats

Introduction: Despite significant progress in understanding pain control mechanism, there are numerous questions about central nervous mechanisms underlying stress-induced analgesia. The rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) in the brainstem integrates a variety of functions, including pain modulation and pain perception. In the present study, we investigated the effect of temporary inactivatio...
