activity wheel running reduces escape latency and alters Brain Monoamine levels after footshock
Brain Research Bulletin, 1997Co-Authors: Rod K Dishman, Kenneth J Renner, Shawn D Youngstedt, Thomas G Reigle, B N Bunnell, K A Burke, Edward H Mougey, James L MeyerhoffAbstract:Abstract We examined the effects of chronic activity wheel running on Brain Monoamines and latency to escape foot shock after prior exposure to uncontrollable, inescapable foot shock. Individually housed young (∼50 day) female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to standard cages (sedentary) or cages with activity wheels. After 9–12 weeks, animals were matched in pairs on body mass. Activity wheel animals were also matched on running distance. An animal from each matched pair was randomly assigned to controllable or uncontrollable inescapable foot shock followed the next day by a foot shock escape test in a shuttle box. Brain concentrations of norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA), dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), and 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA) were assayed in the locus coeruleus (LC), dorsal raphe (DR), central amygdala (AC), hippocampus (CA1), arcuate nucleus, paraventricular nucleus (PVN), and midBrain central gray. After prior exposure to uncontrollable foot shock, escape latency was reduced by 34% for wheel runners compared with sedentary controls. The shortened escape latency for wheel runners was associated with 61% higher NE concentrations in LC and 44% higher NE concentrations in DR compared with sedentary controls. Sedentary controls, compared with wheel runners, had 31% higher 5-HIAA concentrations in CA1 and 30% higher 5-HIAA concentrations in AC after uncontrollable foot shock and had 28% higher 5-HT and 33% higher 5-HIAA concentrations in AC averaged across both foot shock conditions. There were no group differences in Monoamines in the central gray or in plasma prolactin or ACTH concentrations, despite 52% higher DA concentrations in the arcuate nucleus after uncontrollable foot shock and 50% higher DOPAC/DA and 17% higher 5-HIAA/5-HT concentrations in the PVN averaged across both foot shock conditions for sedentary compared with activity wheel animals. The present results extend understanding of the escape-deficit by indicating an attenuating role for circadian physical activity. The altered Monoamine levels suggest Brain regions for more direct probes of neural activity after wheel running and foot shock.

developmental fluoxetine and prenatal stress effects on serotonin dopamine and synaptophysin density in the pfc and hippocampus of offspring at weaning
Developmental Psychobiology, 2016Co-Authors: Mary Gemmel, Christina Dalla, Ine Rayen, Tiffany Lotus, Eva L Van Donkelaar, Harry W M Steinbusch, Sonsoles De Lacalle, Nikolaos Kokras, Jodi L PawluskiAbstract:Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor medication exposure during the perinatal period can have a long term impact in adult offspring on neuroplasticity and the serotonergic system, but the impact of these medications during early development is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of developmental exposure to the SSRI, fluoxetine, on the serotonergic system, dopaminergic system, and synaptophysin density in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, as well as number of immature neurons in the dentate gyrus, in juvenile rat offspring at weaning. To model aspects of maternal depression, prenatal restraint stress was used. Sprague-Dawley rat offspring were exposed to either prenatal stress and/or fluoxetine. Main findings show that developmental fluoxetine exposure to prenatally stressed offspring decreased 5-HT and 5-HIAA levels and altered the dopaminergic system in the hippocampus. Prenatal stress, regardless of fluoxetine, increased synaptophysin density in the PFC. This work indicates that early exposure to maternal stress and SSRI medication can alter Brain Monoamine levels and synaptophysin density in offspring at weaning.

estradiol rapidly activates male sexual behavior and affects Brain Monoamine levels in the quail Brain
Behavioural Brain Research, 2006Co-Authors: Christina Dalla, Z Papadopouloudaifoti, Michelle Baillien, Charlotte A Cornil, Jacques BalthazartAbstract:Abstract Steroids are generally viewed as transcription factors binding to intracellular receptors and activating gene transcription. Rapid cellular effects mediated via non-genomic mechanisms have however been identified and one report showed that injections of estradiol rapidly stimulate chemoinvestigation and mounting behavior in castrated male rats. It is not known whether such effects take place in other species and what are the cellular underlying mechanisms. We show here that a single injection of estradiol (500 μg/kg) rapidly and transiently activates copulatory behavior in castrated male quail pre-treated with a dose of testosterone behaviorally ineffective by itself. The maximal behavioral effect was observed after 15 min. In a second experiment, the Brain of all subjects was immediately collected after behavioral tests performed 15 min after injection. The preoptic area—hypothalamus (HPOA), hindBrain, telencephalon and cerebellum were isolated and Monoamines measured by HPLC-ED. Estradiol increased levels of the serotonin metabolite 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and 5-HIAA/serotonin ratios in the telencephalon and hindBrain independently of whether animals had mated or not. Estradiol also affected these measures in HPOA and cerebellum but this effect was correlated with the level of sexual activity so that significant effects of the treatment only appeared when sexual activity was used as a covariate. Interactions between estradiol effects and sexual activity were also observed for dopamine in the HPOA and for serotonin in the hindBrain and cerebellum. Together, these data demonstrate that a single estradiol injection rapidly activates male sexual behavior in quail and that this behavioral effect is correlated with changes in Monoaminergic activity.

rapid decreases in preoptic aromatase activity and Brain Monoamine concentrations after engaging in male sexual behavior
Endocrinology, 2005Co-Authors: Charlotte A Cornil, Christel Dejace, Christina Dalla, Z Papadopouloudaifoti, Michelle Baillien, Gregory F Ball, Jacques BalthazartAbstract:In Japanese quail, as in rats, the expression of male sexual behavior over relatively long time periods (days to weeks) is dependent on the local production of estradiol in the preoptic area via the aromatization of testosterone. On a short-term basis (minutes to hours), central actions of dopamine as well as locally produced estrogens modulate behavioral expression. In rats, a view of and sexual interaction with a female increase dopamine release in the preoptic area. In quail, in vitro Brain aromatase activity (AA) is rapidly modulated by calcium-dependent phosphorylations that are likely to occur in vivo as a result of changes in neurotransmitter activity. Furthermore, an acute estradiol injection rapidly stimulates copulation in quail, whereas a single injection of the aromatase inhibitor vorozole rapidly inhibits this behavior. We hypothesized that Brain aromatase and dopaminergic activities are regulated in quail in association with the expression of male sexual behavior. Visual access as well as se...

1 methyl 4 phenylpyridinium like neurotoxicity of a pyridinium metabolite derived from haloperidol cell culture and neurotransmitter uptake studies
Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 1994Co-Authors: Jeffrey R Bloomquist, E King, A Wright, C Mytilineou, K Kimura, K Castagnoli, N CastagnoliAbstract:It is now generally accepted that the nigrostriatal degenerative properties of the parkinsonian-inducing agent 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine are mediated by the Brain Monoamine oxidase B generated 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium metabolite (MPP+). In this article, the results are described of ongoing efforts to evaluate the MPP(+)-type neurotoxic potential of the haloperidol (HP)-derived pyridinium metabolite HPP+, a 1,4-disubstituted structural analog of MPP+, which is formed in humans and rats treated with HP. Previous studies in the rat have shown that intrastriatal perfusion of HPP+ leads to the irreversible depletion of striatal dopamine and serotonin. Furthermore, HPP+ was a potent inhibitor of NADH-supported mitochondrial respiration. This article reports that HPP+ also is toxic to dopaminergic and serotonergic neurons in cultures of embryonic mesencephalic cells, as measured by loss of the ability of exposed cells to accumulate tritium-labeled dopamine and serotonin and by immunochemical staining techniques. HPP+ also inhibited the uptake of these labeled neurotransmitters by synaptosomes prepared from mouse neostriata (dopamine) and cortical tissues (serotonin). Because HP is unlikely to be a substrate for Brain Monoamine oxidase B, the production and accumulation of HPP+ in the Brain is probably not comparable to that of MPP+. On the other hand, chronic exposure to HP could result in Brain levels of this lipophilic quaternary pyridinium species that might coincide with the late-appearing tardive dyskinesias that are observed in some HP-treated patients months and, more often, years after the initiation of HP therapy.
