Abstract
PDF
- Metabolic syndrome (MS) consists of multiple risk factors including elevated blood pressure, abdominal obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, and lipid abnormalities. The main characteristics of MS is insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia introduced by abdominal obesity and physical inactivity and required to prevent decompensation of glucose homeostasis. If pancreatic insulin secretion fails to increase adequately, glucose intolerance and DM develops. MS is associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease which lead to chronic diseases and even to sudden death. Stress is one of contributing factors of MS. The individuals with stressors have unhealthy life styles including heavy drinking, excessive eating, and inactivation. Human body has compensatory mechanism in brain against stress. The main pathways are the hypothalamic-pituitaty-adrenal (HPA) axis and the sympathetic nervous system. The ACTH and cortisol hormone develop and worsen the abdominal obesity and insulin resistance. Chronic stress also stimulates growth hormone and glucagon hormone which aggravate glucose intolerance and result in DM. DM patients have difficulties in glucose control if they have stressors. The effective prevention and management of MS is necessary for modern civilians to be healthy. (Korean J Str Res 2007;15:93∼98)

- Chronic fatigue (CF) is common symptom and reported in more than 10% of people seen in primary care and also seen in many physical and psychological disease. It is known that CF is related to acute or chronic stress response, although the mechanism is not clear. Many patients who have the stress-related diseases complaint disabilitating fatigue. And the most common risk factor of CF is stress and heavy overwork. Daytime stress cause the sleep disturbances (insomnia or sleep deprivation), and sleep abnormalities cause daytime fatigue and stress also. The relation of stress and CF is explained by biological model of chronic fatigue based on neuroendocrine axis [Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and locus celuleus- norepinephrine (LC/NE)-autonomic system]. Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is medically unexplained disorder that has multiple symptoms, especillay CF, cognitive function abnormality and sleep problems. It is well-known that CFS stress sensitive disorder. (Korean J Str Res 2007;15:99∼105)

Abstract

- Depression is one of the most prevalent mood disorders that is characterized by a devastation, low mood, languor, inactivity and anhedonia. Until recently, many animal models of depression have been suggested on the basis of theory of depression. Most of animal models can be classified with stress, pharmacological and genetic models. To develop animal models of depression is very important for discovery and development of effective anti-depressants. This article focuses on stress and genetic animal models in depression. The first part of article describes traditional stress models: learned helplessness, forced swimming test, chronic mild stress and maternal separation. In the second part, it is known that genetic factors play a role in etiology of depression, and several genetic models have been introduced: Twik-1-related K+ channel, prostate apoptosis response 4, P11 gene. Since these models are now utilized to examine the etiology and pathophysiology of depression as well as an application of therapeutic medications, an availability of the reliable and valid animal models is critical in preclincial and clinical research of the depression.
