This experiment examined the effects of intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of a corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) antagonist on the development of stress-induced sensitization of the behavioral response to amphetamine. Restraint stress was found to enhance both the locomotor response to a s.c. injection of saline and the intensity of stereotypy induced by a s.c. injection of 3.0 mg/kg D-amphetamine. Both of these effects of restraint stress were severely attenuated in rats that had been injected with the CRF antagonist prior to restraint stress. This result is compatible with the hypothesis that CRF is critically involved in initiating behavioral and physiological responses to aversive stimuli.

D003346 Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone A peptide of about 41 amino acids that stimulates the release of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE. CRH is synthesized by neurons in the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS of the HYPOTHALAMUS. After being released into the pituitary portal circulation, CRH stimulates the release of ACTH from the PITUITARY GLAND. CRH can also be synthesized in other tissues, such as PLACENTA; ADRENAL MEDULLA; and TESTIS.
