Abstract In the present study, we examined the effect of metyrapone, an inhibitor of corticosterone CS. synthesis, on the behavioral and neurochemical sequelae induced by a brief restraint session. A 15-min stress period induced an anxiogenic-like behavior on the elevated plus-maze EPM., which was reversed with metyrapone 75 mgrkg i.p.. injected 3 h prior to the stress event. It was further demonstrated that metyrapone pretreatment normalized the decrease in maximal chloride uptake following GABA stimulation observed in brain cortex tissue obtained from animals exposed to both restraint and the EPM. In addition, plasma CS levels were assessed both after restraint and following EPM exposure. Furthermore, the administration of both CS 2.5 mgrkg s.c. at a dose that mimics CS levels induced by restraint. or dexamethasone DEXA, 1.25 mgrkg s.c. resulted in an anxiogenic response in the EPM comparable to that induced by restraint. Taken together, all these evidence suggest that CS released in response to stress seems to be associated with functional changes at the GABAergic supramolecular complex which could underlie the enhanced anxiety observed following the exposure to an aversive experience. q1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
