摘要
Mild footshock stress results in an increase dopamine metabolism in the prefrontal cortex. Increases in either the intensity or duration of stress enhance dopamine metabolism in the nucleus accumbens and striatum, as well as in the prefrontal cortex. Dopamine is metabolized by monoamine oxidase with hydrogen peroxide as a product. In this study we have demonstrated that while very mild (0.2 mA) footshock stress did not change glutathione peroxidase activity in the rat prefrontal cortex and striatum, more intense (1.6 mA) footshock stress increased glutathione peroxidase activity at 0, 15, 30 and 60 min after the footshock in the prefrontal cortex and at 30 min after the footshock in the striatum. Stress did not change superoxide dismutase activity and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances levels. These results indicate that increased dopamine metabolism induced by footshock stress is probably responsible for the increase of glutathione peroxidase activity.
