Both reinforcing intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) and physical exercise result in heightened cardiovascular and endocrine responses. This study compared the cardiovascular and endocrine responses to ICSS in rats after either chronic ICSS or treadmill running. Male rats (n = 35) were implanted with bipolar electrodes aimed at the ventral tegmental area of the brain, and those that performed vigorous lever pressing for ICSS (> 50 presses/min; n = 30) were counter balanced into three groups: chronic ICSS (PRESS), chronic run training (RUN), or sedentary controls (CONT). PRESS, RUN, and CONT rats performed ICSS, ran on a motorized treadmill, or sat quietly in cages for 30 min/day, 5 day/wk, for 12 wk, respectively. All animals then performed 30 min of lever pressing for ICSS and were immediately killed. Oxygen consumption, heart rate, blood pressure, rectal temperature, and plasma norepinephrine, epinephrine, and corticosterone increased (P < 0.05) for all groups during lever pressing. PRESS rats did not differ from CONT rats for any variable studied. However, heart rate was lower and oxygen consumption, norepinephrine, and corticosterone were higher in RUN than in CONT rats. Heart and ventricle weights were higher in PRESS and RUN than in CONT rats; body weights were not different. These data suggest that chronic treadmill running results in adaptations that influence cardiovascular and hormonal responses to ICSS.
