Restraint stress in biomedical research: A review

Paré, William P., Glavin, Gary B.·1986·Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews

Abstract

The use of restraint or immobilization for investigations of animal physiology, pathology and pharmacology has an extensive history. The major use of this technique has been as a "stressor" for the induction of stress response syndromes in animals. Many such syndromes have been characterized from the behavioral level to the neurochemical concomitants of stress. As a consequence of this particular use of the restraint procedure, much information concerning drug effects on stress response syndromes has been obtained. Indeed, many researchers in the area of gastrointestinal drugs routinely screen their new compounds in a restraint model of gastric stress ulcer. The purpose of this review is to present for researchers, a summary of the methods for, the parameters of, and known drug effects on, restraint-induced pathology. In our experience, this technique has proven to be a very useful one for the examination of both central and peripheral mechanisms of stress-related disorders, as well as for studying drug effects upon these disorders.

  • Rodents behave pro-socially when they perceive a conspecific experiencing non-painful psychological restraint stress, acting to end that distress through deliberate action.

    “Our study shows that rodents behave pro-socially when they perceive a conspecific experiencing non-painful psychological restraint stress (8, 9), acting to end that distress through deliberate action.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
