Article Synopsis
- The study examined how blocking galanin receptors affects anxiety in rats that experienced psychogenic trauma, created by witnessing a partner's death.
- Administering a galanin receptor antagonist before stress exposure heightened the rats' anxiety and led to behaviors like hypervigilance.
- The findings indicate that galanin plays a protective role in regulating the central nervous system's response to traumatic stress, which could relate to posttraumatic stress disorder.
The concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides in rat serum sharply decreased after psychic trauma caused by life hazard. The content of these substances remained unchanged for not less than 1 week after trauma. The concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was low, while serum content of triglycerides increased 6 weeks after trauma.
