“…High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with electrochemical detection (ECD) is the most widely used method for the measurement of monoamine levels in biological samples [6] . In rat brain, the hippocampus is the most studied region because it is a target for stress hormones [7] and is associated with 3 major hypotheses of depression i.e.…”

Objective The current study was aimed to investigate the correlations between immobility time in the forced swimming test (FST, a behavioral indicator of stress level) and hippocampal monoamine levels (markers of depression), plasma adrenalin level (a peripheral marker of stress) as well as fl uoro-jade C staining (a marker of neurodegeneration).Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to acute, sub-chronic (7 d) or chronic (14 d) FSTs and immobility time was recorded. Levels of noradrenalin, serotonin and dopamine in the hippocampus, and adrenalin level in the plasma were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. Brain sections from rats after chronic forced swimming or rotenone treatment (3 mg/kg subcutaneously for 4 d) were stained with fl uoro-jade C. ResultsThe rats subjected to swimming stress (acute, sub-chronic and chronic) showed long immobility times [(214 ± 5), (220 ± 4) and (231 ± 7) s, respectively], indicating that the animals were under stress. However, the rats did not exhibit significant declines in hippocampal monoamine levels, and the plasma adrenalin level was not significantly increased compared to that in unstressed rats. The rats that underwent chronic swimming stress did not manifest fl uoro-jade C staining in brain sections, while degenerating neurons were evident after rotenone treatment. Conclusion The immobility time in the FST does not correlate with markers of depression (monoamine levels) and internal stress (adrenalin levels and neurodegeneration), hence this parameter may not be a true indicator of stress level.

“…Neuroendocrine studies have shown that glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids and catecholamines regulate the stress-activated neural metabolism, modulate the stress response and control the subsequent adaptive behaviour of animals [4,5,10,26]. There was demonstrated that a proper balance between glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids and catecholamines is of paramount importance for the homeostatic control of organisms' stress and adaptation.…”

“…In the present section we will describe the effects of triadimefon and flutriafol on in vivo release of dopamine in the striatum of rats. The data reviewed here were obtained by microdialysis technique which allows monitoring the in vivo release of dopamine in awake and freely-moving rats using cerebral microdialysis (see Bergquist et al, 2002, for review). The microdialysis technique coupled to high affinity liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-EC) was used by Gagnaire and Micillino (2006), to examine the effects of administration of triadimefon on in vivo dopamine release from rat striatum.…”
