Subsensitivity to substance P in SART-stressed mice.

چکیده
The sensitivity of SART-stressed (repeated cold-stressed) mice to substance P (SP) was studied. The behavioral responses to intrathecal SP in the stressed mice were less marked than those in non-stressed mice. The 50% effective dose of SP, however, did not differ between the 2 groups. Also, the antagonistic effect of intrathecal [D-Pro2, D-Trp7,9]-substance P against SP was not different. These results suggest that SART-stressed mice are subsensitive to exogenous SP and that the number but not the affinity of SP receptors may be altered.

A role for corticotropin-releasing factor in repeated cold stress-induced anxiety-like behavior during forced swimming and elevated plus-maze tests in mice.
SART (specific alternation of rhythm in temperature) stress is known to cause anxiety-like behavior in mice/rats in several anxiety-related behavioral tests. In the present study, we investigated possible roles for corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and glucocorticoids in SART stress-induced anxiety-like behavior in two different anxiety-related behavioral tests. In the forced swimming test, ...
متن کاملEffects of AF-DX116 and other muscarinic receptor antagonists on orthostatic hypotension in autonomic imbalanced (SART-stressed) rats.
SART (specific alternation of rhythm in temperature)-stressed rats are an animal model of autonomic imbalance created by exposing animals to repeated cold stress. The SART-stressed rats have been shown to easily develop orthostatic hypotension (OH). In this study, effects of AF-DX116, a selective M(2) antagonist, and other muscarinic receptor antagonists on OH were investigated in SART-stressed...
متن کاملEffects of the α1-adrenoceptor agonist phenylephrine on SART stress-induced orthostatic hypotension in rats
BACKGROUND Specific alternation of rhythm in temperature (SART)-stressed rats, an animal model of autonomic imbalance, exhibit low blood pressure and tachycardia during consciousness and under anesthesia. In addition, these rats easily develop orthostatic hypotension (OH) as a response to postural manipulation. Hence, we studied the influence of the adrenalin α1-receptor agonist phenylephrine o...
متن کاملThe abnormal open-field behavior of SART-stressed rats and effects of some drugs on it.
As part of an investigation on the behavioral characteristics of SART-stressed animals, an animal model of autonomic imbalance, the open-field behavior of SART-stressed (repeated cold-stressed) rats was studied and compared with that of rats exposed to other types of stress. In addition, the effects of several drugs on it were also studied. As compared with normal rats, SART-stressed rats exhib...
متن کاملRegulatory effect of neurotropin on nasal mucosal hypersensitivity in guinea pigs caused by SART (intermittent exposure to cold) stress.
We stated that SART-stressed guinea pigs showing nasal mucosal hypersensitivity would serve as an animal model for the in vivo evaluation of antiallergic drugs. In the present study, the mode of action of Neurotropin on nasal allergy compared with those of antiallergic drugs was studied by using SART-stressed guinea pigs. Daily administrations of Neurotropin improved the methacholine-induced hy...
