- W3197382693 abstract "Women who do not breastfeed or discontinue breastfeeding early are more likely to develop postpartum depression (PPD) and stress is a significant risk factor for depression, including PPD. Using a rat model, we investigated whether the absence of nursing would increase the susceptibility to chronic stress-related behavioral and neural changes during the postpartum period. Adult female rats underwent thelectomy (thel; removal of teats), sham surgery, or no surgery (control) and were paired with males for breeding. All litters were rotated twice daily until postpartum day (PD) 26. Sham rats served as surrogates for thel litters, yielding a higher nursing demand for sham rats. Concurrently, rats received either no stress or chronic variable stress until PD 25. Rats were observed for maternal behaviors and tested in a series of tasks including open field, sucrose preference, and forced swim. We used immunohistochemistry (IHC) for doublecortin (DCX; to label immature neurons) or for mineralocorticoid receptor (MR). Contrary to our expectations, non-nursing thel rats were resistant to the effects of stress in all dependent measures. Our data indicate that even in chronic adverse conditions, nursing is not required for maintaining stable care to offspring or active coping responses in an acutely stressful task. We discuss the possible role of offspring contact and consider future directions for biomedical and clinical research. In rats with high nursing demand, however, chronic stress increased immobility, hippocampal neurogenesis, and MR expression (largely in opposition to the effects of stress in rats with typical nursing demand). We discuss these patterns in the context of energetics and allostatic load. This research highlights the complexity in relationships between stress, nursing, and neurobehavioral outcomes in the postpartum period and underscores the need for additional biomedical and clinical research geared toward optimizing treatments and interventions for women with PPD, regardless of breastfeeding status. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The goal of this research was to determine how the absence of nursing and higher nursing demand impact stress-coping behaviors and neural changes associated with chronic stress in order to disentangle the complex interplay of factors that contribute to psychological illness during the postpartum period." @default.
