    Anti-inflammatory effect of acute stress on experimental colitis is mediated by cholecystokinin-B receptors
    (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2004) YEGEN, BERRAK; Gulpinar, MA; Ozbeyli, D; Arbak, S; Yegen, BC
    We aimed to investigate the effects of electric shock (ES) on the course of experimental colitis and the involvement of possible central and peripheral mechanisms. In Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 190) colitis was induced by intracolonic administration 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS). The effects of ES (0.3-0.5 mA) or the central administration of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF; astressin, 10 mug/kg) or cholecystokinin (CCKB; 20 mug/kg) receptor antagonists and peripheral glucocorticoid receptor (RU-486; 10 mg/kg) or ganglion (hexamethonium; 15 mg/kg) blockers on TNBS-induced colitis were studied by the assessment of macroscopic score, histological analysis and tissue myeloperoxidase activity. ES reduced all colonic damage scores (p < 0.05-0.01), while central CRF (p < 0.05-0.001) and CCKB receptor (p < 0.05-0.01) blockers or peripheral hexamethonium (p < 0.05-0.01) and RU-486 (p < 0,05) reversed stress-induced improvement. ES demonstrated an anti-inflammatory effect on colitis, which appears to be mediated by central CRF and CCK receptors with, the participation of hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system.
