- W3111036809 abstract "Activity of the two major stress systems, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) and the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary (SAM) axis, has already been shown to be modulated by different compounds that bind to the central benzodiazepine receptor. Less is known about ligands that modulate the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor - meanwhile known as the translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO) - which constitute promising candidates in the search of novel anxiolytics. To close this gap, the present study compared the effects of the benzodiazepine alprazolam and the TSPO ligand etifoxine on responses of the HPA and SAM axes to the Trier Social Stress Test, a standardized paradigm to induce acute psychosocial stress in humans, performed in Virtual Reality (VR-TSST).Sixty healthy males, aged between 18 and 55 years, were randomly assigned to receive either a daily dose of 1.5 mg alprazolam, 150 mg etifoxine, or placebo over five days. On the last day of intake, they were exposed to the VR-TSST. We assessed changes of salivary cortisol, allopregnanolone, (nor-) epinephrine in serum, TSPO expression in platelets as well as heart rate (HR), skin conductance level (SCL) and self-reports in response to the stress task. Repeated measures ANOVAs were conducted to examine treatment effects on these stress response variables during the course of VR-TSST.The response of salivary cortisol to the VR-TSST was significantly blunted in participants pre-treated with alprazolam but was not affected by etifoxine. While levels of allopregnanolone, epinephrine and norepinephrine increased in response to stress, TSPO expression decreased. None of those endocrine stress markers was affected by the active treatments, whereas TSPO expression increased after etifoxine administration over all study days. There were no effects of the two anxiolytics on HR, SCL or any self-report measurement.The current study confirmed the attenuating effects of benzodiazepines on stress-induced HPA axis activity but did not reveal a comparable effect of the TSPO ligand etifoxine. The long-term consequences of a pharmacologically blunted response of the HPA axis to an acute stressor should be further elucidated. Due to the missing effects of etifoxine on stress-related parameters in our sample of healthy subjects, it might be concluded that the therapeutic effects of this TSPO ligand are restricted to stronger or pathological stress responses, respectively." @default.
