| Abstract | Our previous study demonstrated that prenatal ethanol exposure (PEE) enhances the sensitivity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis in adult offspring rats. This study aims to investigate the underlying mechanism. PEE treated female offspring rats were fed with high-fat diet and subjected to the unpredictable chronic stresses (UCS) in adulthood. For adult offspring, the PEE group exhibited increased expression of hypothalamic corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) as well as elevated gain rates of serum adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and corticosterone after UCS. Meanwhile, PEE significantly decreased the expression of glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) and Reelin (Reln), and the expression ratio of hypothalamic vesicular glutamate transporter 2 (VGluT2)/GAD65 was enhanced in the adult PEE offspring. These changes were also accompanied by the enhanced expression of glucocorticoid receptor (GR), N-methyl-D-aspartate-subtype glutamate receptor 2B and the decreased expression ratio of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR)/GR in the hippocampus. Furthermore, the abnormal hippocampus neurons were observed especially in the cornu ammonis 3 (CA3) and dentate gyrus subfields. For fetuses, PEE significantly decreased the expression of mammalian achaete-scute homolog-1 (Mash1) as well as GAD65 and Reln. Both VGluT2/GAD65 expression ratio and GR expression were increased while the MR/GR expression ratio was decreased in the PEE group. PEE also caused ultrastructural injury in CA3. Our findings suggest that PEE causes the persistent remodeling alterations of impaired morphology and decreased MR/GR expression ratio in the hippocampus, as well as the imbalanced glutamatergic/GABAergic afferent inputs in the hypothalamus. All of these would contribute to the enhanced sensitivity of the HPA axis in adult offspring. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
