Sex differences associated with intermittent swim stress

open access: yesStress, 2013
Various animal models of depression have been used to seek a greater understanding of stress-related disorders. However, there is still a great need for novel research in this area, as many individuals suffering from depression are resistant to current treatment methods.

Splenic immunomodulation with swimming-induced stress in rats

open access: yesImmunology Letters, 1991
In order to determine the effects of swimming-induced stress, young male Wistar rats swam for a single session of 2 h duration, or for one 2-h session a day for five consecutive days. The absolute number of splenic mononuclear cells and the in vitro proliferation of mitogen-stimulated (PHA) T lymphocytes were studied.

Female-specific role of ciliary neurotrophic factor in the medial amygdala in promoting stress responses

open access: yesNeurobiology of Stress, 2022
Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is produced by astrocytes which have been implicated in regulating stress responses. We found that CNTF in the medial amygdala (MeA) promotes despair or passive coping, i.e., immobility in an acute forced swim stress ...

Kappa opioid regulation of depressive-like behavior during acute withdrawal and protracted abstinence from ethanol. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
The dynorphin/kappa opioid receptor (DYN/KOR) system appears to be a key mediator of the behavioral effects of chronic exposure to alcohol. Although KOR opioid receptor antagonists have been shown to decrease stress-related behaviors in animal models ...

Single swim sessions in C. elegans induce key features of mammalian exercise

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2017
Background Exercise exerts remarkably powerful effects on metabolism and health, with anti-disease and anti-aging outcomes. Pharmacological manipulation of exercise benefit circuits might improve the health of the sedentary and the aging populations ...

Blood Oxidative Stress Markers After Ultramarathon Swimming

open access: yesJournal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2011
Data on redox balance in response to marathon swimming are lacking, whereas findings from studies using other types of ultraendurance exercise are controversial. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of ultramarathon swimming on selective blood oxidative stress markers.

Cellular effects of swim stress in the dorsal raphe nucleus [PDF]

open access: yesPsychoneuroendocrinology, 2007
Swim stress regulates forebrain 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) release in a complex manner and its effects are initiated in the serotonergic dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN). The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of swim stress on the physiology of DRN neurons in conjunction with 5-HT immunohistochemistry. Basic membrane properties, 5-HT(1A) and 5-

Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

Data on the effect of maternal separation coupled with social isolation in a forced swim test and gene expression of glial fibrillary acid protein in the prefrontal cortex of rats

open access: yesData in Brief, 2018
Early life adversity, such as neglect, increases the risk for major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders. It is well-known that astrocytes have key roles in brain function.

Corticosterone response to gestational stress and postpartum memory function in mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Maternal stress is a common adversity during pregnancy. Gestational corticosterone alternations are thought to contribute to the etiology of postpartum behavioral disturbances. However, the impact of stress during pregnancy, in particular noise exposure,
