“…Corticosterone levels display a characteristic circadian rhythmicity (40) and served as controls in our study. Although melatonin and leptin serum levels in our cohorts of five animals showed trends of an oscillatory profile, they did not achieve significance.…”

“…Although the plasma levels of corticosterone appear to remain the same during the days and at the times studied It is possible that Rhythmic adrenal secretions have begun by day 20 (Study IV) and the system is already capable of responding to stress (6,157).…”

“…Blood samples were collected to evaluate CORT and ACTH levels. The time (approximately 0900-1100 hours) was selected to be consistent with our previous experiments investigating the BNST AL (Tran et al, 2012c), and is a period that CORT levels are known to be constant and minimal (Allen and Kendall, 1967), which improves resolution when examining stress responses. Approximately 1 ml of trunk blood was collected and centrifuged at 2500 g for 10 min.…”

Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)-mediated mechanisms in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) have a pivotal role in stressinduced anxiety and hyperalgesia. Although CRF is known to activate two receptor subtypes, CRF 1 and CRF 2 , attempts to delineate the specific role of each subtype in modulating anxiety and nociception have been inconsistent. Here we test the hypothesis that CRF 1 and CRF 2 receptor activation in the anteriolateral BNST (BNST AL ) facilitates divergent mechanisms modulating comorbid anxiety and hyperalgesia. Microinfusions of the specific antagonists CP376395 and Astressin 2 B into the BNST AL were used to investigate CRF 1 and CRF 2 receptor functions, respectively. We found that CRF 1 and CRF 2 receptors in the BNST AL had opposing effects on exploratory behavior in the elevated plus-maze, somatic mechanical threshold, and the autonomic and endocrine response to stress. However, CRF 1 or CRF 2 receptor antagonism in the BNST AL revealed complementary roles in facilitating the acoustic startle and visceromotor reflexes. Our results suggest that the net effect of CRF 1 and CRF 2 receptor activation in the BNST AL is pathway-dependent and provides important insight into the CRF receptor-associated circuitry that likely underpins stress-induced pathologies.
