摘要

The myocardial response was evaluated in adult male Wistar rats subjected to early postnatal stress (maternal separation) and subsequently administered a single intraperitoneal injection of LPS from E. coli O26:B6 (Sigma-Aldrich) at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg (MS + LPS group). Control animals were neither exposed to early postnatal stress nor treated with LPS, while the comparison group consisted of non-stressed animals that received LPS (LPS group). Both the LPS and MS + LPS groups exhibited an increased proportion of p53+ cardiomyocytes and elevated plasma troponin I levels in comparison with the control. In the MS + LPS group, a significant increase in the number of nucleoli per cardiomyocyte nucleus and a higher proportion of eNOS+ cardiomyocytes were observed relative to both the control and LPS groups. These findings indicate that animals exposed to early postnatal stress display an exaggerated myocardial response to LPS in comparison with the non-stressed counterparts.
