Effect of stress on serotonin, norepinephrine, epinephrine and corticosterone contents in the soft-shelled turtle.

1. Adult soft-shelled turtles were exposed to hyperosmotic and dehydration stresses. 2. Acute treatment for 0.5, 1 or 2 h with sodium chloride (3.6%, single intramuscular injection, 2 mL volume) caused depletion of pineal serotonin contents followed by elevation of norepinephrine and epinephrine levels. In addition, it depleted corticosterone and norepinephrine from the adrenal gland. 3. The serotonin level also decreased with a concomitant increase of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid but without any discernible change in catecholamine content after chronic treatment with sodium chloride (3.6%, 0.5 mL daily for 7 days). 4. Dehydration for 7 days brought about depletion of serotonin and epinephrine levels and elevation of norepinephrine level. 5. The findings suggest that hyperosmotic stress has a definite influence on pineal-paraphyseal serotonin, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, norepinephrine and epinephrine concentrations, and adrenal corticosterone and norepinephrine contents in Lissemys turtles. Dehydration stress also modulates pineal-paraphyseal serotonin, norepinephrine and epinephrine concentrations.
