Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to investigate whether or not a stressed amygdala receives chewing information and projects to the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus to diminish the cerebral stress response. Unilaterally ablated GABAergic neurons were induced in male rats by administering anti-GABA-transporter-1-saporin (GAT1-SAP) to the amygdala, and the effects were measured by p-ERK1/2 immunopositive cell profiles in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus. Results indicated that in unilaterally ablated rats, chewing’s ameliorating effects were significantly diminished in the stress-induced increase of p-ERK1/2 immunopositive cells in the ipsilateral hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus.
