The contribution of the neuroendocrine system to adaption after repeated daily ozone exposure in rats

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2022-11-15
we hypothesized that ozone-adaptation is linked to diminution of neuroendocrine stress-axes activation and glucocorticoid levels. Male Wistar-Kyoto-rats (12-week-old) were injected with vehicle or a therapeutically-relevant dexamethasone dose (0.01-mg/kg/day; intraperitoneal) for 1-month to determine if suppression of glucocorticoid signaling was linked to adaptation. Vehicle- and dexamethasone-treated rats were exposed to air or 0.8-ppm ozone, 4 hours/dayx2 or 4 days to assess the impacts of acute exposure and adaptation, respectively. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Heinriquez, A., S. Snow, J. Dye, M.C. Schladweiler, D. Alewel, C. Miller, and U. Kodavanti. The contribution of the neuroendocrine system to adaption after repeated daily ozone exposure in rats. TOXICOLOGY AND APPLIED PHARMACOLOGY.
