Popis: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is known as the most common demyelinating disease worldwide in which previous studies have shown that stress is a risk factor for the disease's onset and progression. Nevertheless, further studies are needed to investigate the consequences of stress in MS pathology. In this study, after 5 days of exposure to psychological and physical stress as a repetitive distress modality, rats were treated with cuprizone. The demyelination degree was compared in animal groups using Luxol fast blue staining, immunohistochemical staining for myelin basic protein and transmission electron microscopy. Outcomes revealed that animals exposed to stress prior to cuprizone ingestion, elicit more intense demyelination. Continuous psychological distress has more severe effects on myelin sheath destruction in the preclinical stage.
