Cardiac autonomic and cortisol stress responses to real operations in surgeons
BACKGROUND: Surgeons are exposed to high levels of intraoperative stress, which could compromise their psychological well-being in the long term. This study aimed at exploring the effects of real operations on the activity of stress response systems (i.e., cardiac autonomic function and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis) during and in the aftermath of surgery, and the moderating role of individual psychobiological characteristics and different …
Structural and Electrical Myocardial Remodeling in a Rodent Model of Depression
OBJECTIVE: Despite a well-documented association between stress and depression with cardiac morbidity and mortality, there is no satisfactory explanation for the mechanisms linking affective and cardiac disorders. This study investigated cardiac electrophysiological properties in an animal model of depression. METHODS: Depression-relevant physiological and behavioral parameters were measured in adult male wild-type rats during and after a period …
The Integration of Depressive Behaviors and Cardiac Dysfunction During an Operational Measure of Depression
OBJECTIVE: There is a bidirectional association between depression and cardiovascular disease. The neurobiological mechanisms underlying this association may involve an inability to cope with disrupted social bonds. This study investigated in an animal model the integration of depressive behaviors and cardiac dysfunction after a disrupted social bond and during an operational measure of depression, relative to the protective effects of intact soc…

Acute social stress and cardiac electrical activity in rats
This paper summarizes the results of experiments aimed at describing electrocardiographic responses to different acute social stressors in healthy male rats. Electrocardiograms were telemetrically recorded during maternal aggression, social defeat, and psychosocial stimulation, as obtained using the classical resident-intruder paradigm. Autonomic input to the heart was indirectly evaluated by means of heart rate variability measures and plasma ca…
Maternal aggression as a model for acute social stress in the rat
Maternal aggression of lactating rats was used to induce acute social stress in a resident-intruder paradigm. Behavioral and electrocardiographic responses of male intruders were simultaneously recorded. Cardiac electrical activity was measured by means of a telemetry system which ensured preservation of intruder's behavioral repertoire. Behavioral response to maternal attack was evaluated in terms of percent time spent in passive/submissive (p/s…
Offensive and defensive bite‐target topographies in attacks by lactating rats
The attacks by resident lactating Wistar rats on sexually naive conspecifics of both sexes were examined. Male and female intruders were equally attacked in terms of frequency and number of bites, but the topographies of biting seen in these encounters were different. Similarly to male-male agonistic interactions, females were attacked in a fashion which avoided bites to the head and snout (“offensive” attack), whereas males were frequently bitte…
