As shown in Table II, we find some acute and chronic stressors are not influenced by the loss of the Avpr1b (e.g. acute severe restraint), some have a reduced ACTH response only (e.g. acute forced swimming stress) and some have both a reduced ACTH and CORT response in Avpr1b KOs compared to wild types (e.g. acute and repeated novel environment stress). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
We cannot totally rule out the possibility that mechanisms compensating for the loss of Avpr1b are active in the Avpr1b KO. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
As far as HPA axis function is concerned, clearly Crh (or Oxt) does not compensate for the loss of the Avpr1b in Avpr1b KO mice. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Nevertheless, stress-induced ACTH levels in our Avpr1b KOs are consistently lower (often to basal levels) than wild-type controls, confirming any compensation (e.g. from the action of Crh) is not sufficient to fully counteract the loss of the Avpr1b (Lolait et al. 2007a,b; Stewart et al. 2008a,b). | |||||||||||||||

|
Fluoxetine and desipramine administration significantly attenuated plasma ACTH and CORT levels in male and female Avpr1b KO mice when compared to their wild-type counterparts. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Prepulse inhibition of the startle reflex is attenuated in Avpr1b KO mice (Egashira et al. 2005) suggesting that this mouse may be a suitable model to investigate sensorimotor gating. | |||||||||||||||
