Effects of Exercise Training and Social Environment on Stress Resilience in Male and Female Long-Evans Rats
Abstract
The purpose of this doctoral dissertation research project was to determine if exercise training or social enrichment could enhance stress resilience in rats. The specific aims of this experiment were to evaluate: (1) how combined sleep disturbance and predator stress affect biological and psychological components of the stress response; (2) if exercise training attenuates the biological and psychological components of the stress response and promotes recovery following exposure to sleep disturbance and predator stress; (3) if social support attenuates the biological and psychological components of the stress response and promotes recovery following exposure to sleep disturbance and predator stress; and (4) sex differences in the effects of sleep disturbance and predator stress on biological and psychological components of the stress response.
