Abstract

In the present study, we examined the effect of cold-water swimming stress (CWSS) on plasma corticosterone levels. Mice were exposed to stress in 4¡ÆC for 3?mins. Plasma corticosterone (CORT) level was measured at 0, 15, and 30?min after stress stimulation. The plasma CORT level was gradually increased up to 30?min. Then we further examined the changes of several signaling molecules expression levels, such as p-ERK, p-JNK, p-P38, p-AMPK¥á1, p-AMPK¥á2, and p-mTOR, in the HPA axis. We observed that those signaling molecules were altered after stress in the HPA axis. p-ERK, p-JNK, p-P38, and p-mTOR proteins expression were reduced by CWSS in the HPA axis. However, the phosphorylation of AMPK¥á1 and AMPK¥á2 were activated after CWSS in the HPA axis. Our results suggest that the upregulation of plasma CORT level induced by CWSS may be modulated by the those signaling molecules.
