| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Effects of aging on social stress, such as isolation and confrontation, induced physiological responses were investigated using young, middle-aged, and old mice (C57BL/6N and BALB/c). A stress response via activated HPA axis was induced in each aged mice. It was suggested that isolation stress for a long period may affect the lipid metabolism and induce intracerebral inflammation, especially in middle aged mice. It was found that the expressions of two genes in the liver or the hippocampus were reduced or induced by social stress. These two genes could be used as a new stress related marker.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
同じ系統のマウスで、若齢、中齢、高齢の各ライフステージで、ストレス応答や環境・社会的ストレス負荷による脳機能の変化を比較追究した報告がほとんどなかったが、本研究によりどのライフステージでもHPA軸を介したストレス応答があることがわかり、特に中齢期はストレスが脂質代謝系に影響を与え脳内炎症が惹起される可能性が示唆されたことは、ストレスによる健康障害を未然に防ぐために役立つと考える。
