202 Effect of mild chronic restraint stress on gestational weight gain in murine model
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology(2021)
摘要
To assess the effect of restraint stress on gestational weight gain in a murine model. Nulliparous female mice, divided among C57BL/6 (n=14), DBA/2 (n=11), and B6D2F1/J (n=9) strains were bred at 8-10 weeks of age with B6D2F1/J males. Detection of a copulation plug was used to determine embryonic day (E) 0.5. Dams were then randomly assigned to either stress or control groups. The mice assigned to stress underwent daily 2-hour periods of restraint in a ventilated clear 50-mL conical centrifuge tube from E1.5-E15.5. The primary outcome was the difference between weight on day E15.5 compared to day E0.5. Pregnancy was confirmed by either preterm delivery from E15.5-E17.5 or by inspection of the uterus after sacrifice on E17.5. Mean weight gain for each strain was compared between the control and stress groups using independent sample t-tests. Values of p < .05 were considered statistically significant. Mean gestational weight gain is presented in Figure 1. DBA/2 and B6D2F1/J mice exposed to restraint stress demonstrated significantly lower gestational weight gain than their respective controls (p=.001 and p=.005, respectively). There was not a significant difference in gestational weight gain in stressed C57BL/6 mice compared to controls (p=.70). Mild chronic restraint stress results in decreased gestational weight gain in DBA/2 and B6D2F1/J mice but not in C57BL/6 mice.
