dc.description.abstract | Chronic morphine treatment produces profound and long-lasting changes in the pituitary-adrenal responses to stressful stimuli. The purpose of the present study was to explore the mechanisms involved in these altered stress responses. Chronic morphine administration increased basal plasma concentrations of corticosterone and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which peaked at 36 h after the final morphine injection and returned to normal levels within 84-h. Whole brain glucocorticoid receptor protein expression was reduced (approximately 70%) in morphine-treated rats 4-h after the final morphine injection and these levels recovered within 16-h. Twelve hours following morphine withdrawal, rats displayed normal ACTH, but potentiated and prolonged corticosterone responses to restraint stress. Both the ACTH and corticosterone responses to restraint in acutely withdrawn rats were insensitive to dexamethasone. Furthermore, acutely withdrawn rats displayed reduced ACTH but prolonged corticosterone responses to peripheral corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) administration. These findings suggest that the normal ACTH and enhanced corticosterone responses to stress in acutely withdrawn rats involved decreased sensitivity of negative-feedback systems to glucocorticoids, reduced pituitary responsivity to CRH, and enhanced sensitivity of the adrenals to ACTH. Eight days following morphine withdrawal, rats displayed dramatically reduced ACTH, but normal corticosterone responses to restraint stress. These rats displayed enhanced sensitivity to dexamethasone and normal pituitary-adrenal responses to CRH. These data suggest that the reduced ACTH responses to stress in 8-day withdrawal rats involved increased sensitivity of negative-feedback systems to glucocorticoids as well as reduced CRH and/or AVP function in response to stress. Taken together, the results of this study illustrate some of the mechanisms mediating altered stress responsivity in rats that have received chronic morphine treatment. | en_US |
