Comparison of commercial ELISA assays for quantification of corticosterone in serum
Kinn Rød, Anne Marie; Harkestad, Nina; Jellestad, Finn Konow; Murison, Robert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-07-27)Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits are widely used to quantify corticosterone levels for the assessment of stress in laboratory animals. The aim of this experiment was simply to evaluate if four different and ... -
Does a single exposure to social defeat render rats more vulnerable to chemically induced colitis than brief inescapable foot-shocks?
Milde, Anne Marita; Kinn Rød, Anne Marie; Brekke, Silvia; Gjøen, Hedda; Mesfin, Ghenet; Murison, Robert (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)All mammals are to different degrees exposed to stressors being physical or social, which may affect health and well-being. Stressful and traumatic situations have direct effects on immune responses that may alter ... -
Early and Later Life Stress Alter Brain Activity and Sleep in Rats
Mrdalj, Jelena; Pallesen, Ståle; Milde, Anne Marita; Jellestad, Finn Konow; Murison, Robert; Ursin, Reidun; Bjorvatn, Bjørn; Grønli, Janne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-07-26)Exposure to early life stress may profoundly influence the developing brain in lasting ways. Neuropsychiatric disorders associated with early life adversity may involve neural changes reflected in EEG power as a measure ... -
Heart rate variability and cortisol responses during attentional and working memory tasks in naval cadets
Johnsen, Bjørn Helge; Hansen, Anita Lill; Murison, Robert; Eid, Jarle; Thayer, Julian Francis (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)The aim of the project was to study the relationship between heart rate variability (HRV) and cortisol release during cognitive challenging tasks. Forty-nine male naval cadets from the Royal Norwegian Naval Academy were ... -

Steine, Iris Mulders; Zayats, Tetyana; Stansberg, Christine; Pallesen, Ståle; Mrdalj, Jelena; Håvik, Bjarte; Soule, Jonathan; Haavik, Jan; Milde, Anne Marita; Skrede, Silje; Murison, Robert; Krystal, John H; Grønli, Janne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-12-13)Sexual abuse contributes to the development of multiple forms of psychopathology, including anxiety and depression, but the extent to which genetics contributes to these disorders among sexual abuse victims remains unclear. ... -
Maternal deprivation of Lewis rat pups increases the severity of experimental periodontitis in adulthood
Breivik, Torbjørn; Gundersen, Yngvar; Murison, Robert; Turner, Jonathan D.; Muller, Claude P.; Gjermo, Per E; Opstad, Per Kristian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Background and Objective: Early life adverse events may influence susceptibility/resistance to chronic inflammatory diseases later in life by permanently dysregulating brain-controlled immune-regulatory systems. We have ... -
A systematic review of studies utilizing hair glucocorticoids as a measure of stress suggests the marker is more appropriate for quantifying short-term stressors
Kalliokoski, Otto; Jellestad, Finn Konow; Murison, Robert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-19)Quantitating glucocorticoids (GCs) in hairs is a popular method for assessing chronic stress in studies of humans and animals alike. The cause-and-effect relationship between stress and elevated GC levels in hairs, sampled ... -
