Plasma corticosterone response to acute and chronic voluntary exercise in female house mice

Plasma levels of corticosterone (B) respond acutely to exercise in all mammals that have been studied, but the literature contains conflicting reports regarding how chronic activity alters this response. We measured acute and chronic effects of voluntary activity on B in a novel animal model, mice selectively bred for high voluntary wheel running. Female mice were housed with or without wheels for 8 wk beginning at 26 days of age. Wheel-access selection mice had significantly higher B at night 8, day 15, and night 29, compared with wheel-access controls. Elevation of B was an acute effect of voluntary exercise. When adjusted for running in the previous 20 min, no difference between wheel-access selection and control animals remained. No training effect on B response was observed. These results are among the strongest evidence that, in some animals, the acute B response is unaffected by chronic voluntary exercise. In mice without wheels, selection mice had significantly higher B than controls at day 15, night 29, and night 50, suggesting that selection resulted in a modulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Growth over the first 4 wk of treatment was significantly and inversely related to average night B levels within each of the four treatment groups.
