Electrocardiographic Evaluation of Acute Restraint and Cold Restraint Stress Response in Rats
Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effects of acute restraint stress and cold restraint stress on electrocardiographic (ECG) parameters in rats. A total of 18 male Wistar albino rats aged 8-10 weeks weighing 180-220 g were divided into three equal groups (n=6/group). No stressors were administered to the rats in the control group. The rats in the restraint group were kept in a restrainer for 2 hours. The rats in the cold restraint group were kept at +4°C for 2 hours in restrainer. ECG was recorded under ketamine and xylazine anesthesia in rats with the Televet II ECG device (Kruuse, Germany), and the Televet 100 program (version® 7.0.0, Kruuse, Heusenstamm, Germany) was used to analyze the leads II. There was no significant difference between the groups in the analysis of PR, QT, QRS intervals, and R-wave amplitude (p >0.05). However, the heart rate was significantly higher in the cold restraint group than in the control group (p <0.001) and restraint group (p <0.01). Conversely, the RR interval was significantly lower in the cold restraint group than in the control group (p <0.001) and restraint group (p <0.01). The QTc was increased in rats exposed to cold restraint stress compared to the control group (p <0.01) and restraint group (p <0.05). In conclusion, acute cold restraint stress may cause more pronounced ECG change than restraint stress.
