Functional activity of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis has been studied under control and restraint stress conditions in rats with inherited stress-sensitive arterial hypertension (ISIAH strain) and in normotensive WAG (Wistar Albino Glaxo) strain. The levels of hypothalamic CRH-mRNA (in control and 2 hrs stress), pituitary and plasma ACTH and plasma corticosterone (in control and after 5, 15 or 30 min of restraint stress), were evaluated. Hypothalamic CRH-mRNA level was found to be approximately the same in the control rats of both strains. In control conditions, the pituitary and plasma ACTH content in ISIAH rats was significantly lower whereas the corticosterone level in the plasma differed from each other in both strain. The restraint stress resulted in a statistically significant increase of the CRH-mRNA in ISIAH rats and not in the WAG rats. Moreover, in spite of the lower ACTH level in stressed ISIAH rats, the corticosterone blood plasma concentration in hypetensive rats was significantly higher. The data obtained confirm the idea that the stress-dependent hypertension might be related to an enhanced sensitivity of the main endocrine links involved in the stress response organization.
