Gender specific influence of endogenous glutamate release on stress-induced fear in rats.

S K SK Jain and D D Zelena

Endocr Regul 45(1):13-21 (2011) PMID 21314206

Stress, fear and anxiety are among major public health concerns. The role of glutamate in these processes is becoming more recognized with promising new drug targets. The aim of this study was to establish the gender specificity of a possible treatment of fear by glutamate antagonists in correspondence with changes in stress-hormone release.

    We recently reported that estrogens increase levels of post-synaptic proteins, including PSD-95, and opioid peptides leu-enkephalin and dynorphin in the hippocampus of young animals. However, the influence of ovarian hormones on synaptic protein and opioid peptide levels in the aging hippocampus is...

    We tested the hypothesis that parallel blockade of more than one subtype is more effective. Low-dose MK-801 (0.033 mg/kg) had no effect on suckling-induced PRL elevation after 4 h of separation. When injected alone, 10 mg/kg of GyKI 52466 was also ineffective, but in combination with low-dose MK-801...
