Virus infection as a stressor: influenza virus elevates plasma concentrations of corticosterone, and brain concentrations of MHPG and tryptophan.

Abstract:

:Balb/c mice were infected with influenza virus PR8 (H1N1) by the intranasal route. At various subsequent times, brain samples were examined for their content of catecholamine and indoleamine metabolites, and plasma corticosterone was measured. Virus infection was associated with a progressive loss of body and thymus weights, and an increase in plasma corticosterone. Spleen weight initially increased then decreased. There were also increases in the cerebral content of free tryptophan throughout the brain, and of MHPG, a major catabolite of norepinephrine, especially prominent in the hypothalamus. Thus influenza virus can be regarded as a stressor because, like behavioral stressors, it activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and increases cerebral concentrations of tryptophan and norepinephrine catabolites. These changes resemble those observed following administration of sheep red blood cells and Newcastle disease virus, noninfectious activators of the immune system, suggesting that noradrenergic and HPA activation are common concomitants of antigenic stimulation. The mediator of these effects may be interleukin-1 released by activated macrophages. It should be noted that animals infected with viruses can be expected to exhibit stress-like endocrine and neurochemical changes.
