The purpose of the present study was to assess whether, and to what extent prior handling, restraint or social crowding stress during 3-10 days affects the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) response to an acute short-lasting restraint stress. Also the effect of a feedback inhibitory mechanism of corticosterone in the impairment of HPA axis by these stressors was investigated. Male Wistar rats were pretreated with handling 1 min/day for 3-10 days, restraint 2 times daily for 3-7 days and crowding stress for 7 days before exposure to acute restraint stress in metal tubes for 10 min. Some group of rats received exogenous s.c. corticosterone either once 25mg/kg or 2 times daily 10 mg/kg for 3-10 days before restraint stress. After the last restraint the rats were decapitated and their trunk blood was collected for the measurement of plasma ACTH and serum corticosterone levels. Handling for 3-7 days, restraint for 3-7 days, and crowding for 7 days and a single pretreatment with corticosterone - all significantly and to a similar extent inhibited the restraint stress-induced increase in ACTH and corticosterone secretion. Chronic pretreatment with corticosterone blunted the restraint stress-induced increase in HPA axis activity. These results indicate that repeated short-lasting stress induced by handling, restraint, or crowding potently attenuates the acute restraint stress-induced stimulatory action of the HPA axis. They also indicate adaptive action of moderate stress on the HPA axis response to acute stress. The results also suggest that a short-lasting hypersecretion of corticosterone during psychological stress may induce a prolonged feedback inhibition of the HPA axis activity. The attenuation of HPA axis response by prior handling has also obvious methodological implications.

The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of social crowding stress and significance of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandins (PG) generated by constitutive and inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX) in the stimulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis by cholinergic muscarinic receptor agonist carbachol. Inhibitors of neuronal NOS (nNOS) L-NNA, general NOS L-NAME and inducible NOS (iNOS) aminoguanidine, as well as inhibitors of COX-1, piroxicam, and COX-2, compound NS-398 were administered 15 min prior to carbachol to control or crowded rats (24 rats in cage for 7, during 3 and 7 days). In stressed rats L-NAME, L-NNA and aminoguanidine significantly intensified the carbachol-induced ACTH and corticosterone secretion, like in control rats. Piroxicam, markedly decreased the carbachol-induced ACTH and corticosterone response under either basal or stress conditions. Compound NS-398 did not markedly alter the carbachol-induced HPA response in control and stressed rats. Crowding stress (3 days) significantly impaired the i.c.v. prostaglandin E2-induced ACTH response. Corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) receptor antagonists, alpha-helical CRH [9-14], given i.c.v. did not alter the PGE2-evoked corticosterone response in either control or stressed rats, indicating that hypothalamic CRH is not involved in the PGE2-induced central stimulation of HPA axis. In control rats L-NAME considerably enhanced, while L-arginine, a physiological NOS substrate, abolished the PGE2-induced ACTH and corticosterone response. In stressed rats this NOS blocker significantly increased and L-Arg reduced the stimulatory effect of PGE2 on ACTH and corticosterone secretion. The carbachol-induced corticosterone response was significantly increased by pretreatment with nNOS inhibitor L-NNA and was considerably reduced by indomethacin, a general COX inhibitor. Pretreatment with both antagonists left the carbachol-induced corticosterone level unchanged, suggesting an independent and reciprocal effect of NO and PG in the cholinergic stimulation of pituitary-adrenocortical response. These results indicate that in the stimulatory action of muscarinic agonist, carbachol, NO is an inhibitory transmitter under basal and crowding stress conditions. This psychosocial stress does not functionally affect the NOS/NO systems. Prostaglandins are involved in the cholinergic muscarinic-induced stimulation of HPA response to a significant extent in non-stressed rats. PGE2 may be involved in the carbachol-elicited HPA response under basal and stress conditions. Prostaglandins released in response to muscarinic stimulation did not evoke the hypothalamic CRH mediation. NO significantly impairs and PG stimulates the carbachol-induced HPA response in rats under basal and social stress conditions.

The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of social stress and significance of prostaglandins (PG) generated by constitutive and inducible cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) in the stimulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis by corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) under basal and social crowding stress conditions. The stressed rats were crowded in groups of 24 to a cage for 3 or 7 days, whereas the control animals were haused in groups of 7 to a cage of the same size. The activity of HPA axis was determined by measuring plasma ACTH and serum corticosterone levels 1 h after i.p. CRH administration. Inhibitors of COX-1, piroxicam (0.2, 2.0, and 5.0 mg/kg), and COX-2, compound NS-398 (0.2 and 2.0 mg/kg), were administered i.p. 15 min prior to CRH (0.1 µg/kg i.p.) to control or crowded rats. The obtained results indicate that social stress for 3 and 7 days markedly intensifies the stimulatory action of CRH on ACTH secretion. Neither piroxicam nor NS-398 induce any significant effect on the CRH-elicited ACTH and corticosterone secretion in non-stressed or crowded rats. Therefore, PG generated by COX-1 or COX-2 do not participate to a significant extent in the stimulation of HPA axis by CRH under either basal conditions or during crowding stress. These results also indicate that the stimulatory action of CRH on ACTH secretion is not only completely resistant to desensitization but is sensitized during social crowding stress. The results contrast with a significant involvement of PG in the vasopressin-induced stimulation of HPA response during crowding stress.

The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of social stress on the corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) and arginine vasopressin (AVP)-induced pituitary-adrenocortical activity. Also the significance of prostaglandins (PG) generated by constitutive and inducible cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) in the stimulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis by AVP under basal and crowding stress conditions was investigated. The control rats were housed 7 in a standard cage and stressed rats were crowded 24 in a cage of the same size during 7 days. The activity of HPA axis was determined by measuring plasma ACTH and serum corticosterone levels 1 h after i.p. AVP administration. Indomethacin (2.0 mg/kg i.p.), a non-selective COX inhibitor, piroxicam (0.2, 2.0, and 5.0 mg/kg), a more potent COX-1 than COX-2 inhibitor, and compound NS-398 (0.2 and 2.0 mg/kg) a selective COX-2 inhibitor, were administered i.p. 15 min prior to AVP (5.0 µg/kg i.p.) to control or crowded rats. The obtained results indicate that social stress for 7 days considerably inhibits the stimulatory action of AVP on ACTH secretion, while it intensifies the CRH-induced ACTH secretion. Indomethacin, piroxicam and NS-398 significantly diminished the AVP-elicited ACTH and corticosterone secretion in non-stressed rats. None of these COX antagonist induced any significant inhibition of the AVP-induced ACTH and corticosterone secretion in stressed rats. Therefore, PG generated by COX-1 or COX-2 do not participate to a significant extent in the HPA stimulation by AVP during crowding stress. These results suggest that social crowding stress desensitizes the PG stimulatory mechanism which considerably mediates the AVP-induced HPA stimulation under basal conditions. The results contrast with a lack of any involvement of PG in the CRH-induced stimulation of HPA response under basal or crowding stress conditions.
