Customer Reviews

We were able to use the CRS model to study its impact on endocrine function, which was a unique application for us. The high-quality hormone assay data we received was invaluable for our study on stress-induced reproductive dysfunction. - K. B***is, Senior Biologist
The detailed final report from CBL, including the raw data and analysis, was incredibly thorough. It saved my team countless hours of data processing and gave us the confidence to move forward with our findings. The level of detail and scientific rigor was truly impressive. - D. P***son, Principal Investigator

Chronic Restraint Stress (CRS) Model

The CRS model is a well-established paradigm for inducing a state of chronic, unpredictable stress in laboratory animals. The effects are multifaceted, impacting both the central nervous and endocrine systems.

	Description
Neuropsychiatric Applications	The model has been meticulously validated using a multi-modal approach. It consistently induces key neurobiological changes, including functional hypoconnectivity in brain networks involved in emotion and interoception, as measured by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). It also leads to a decrease in critical neurometabolites such as glutamate (Glu) and glutamine (Gln) in the sensorimotor cortex, confirmed by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-MRS). Furthermore, the model reliably causes a reduction in hippocampal volume, a hallmark of chronic stress and depression.
Beyond Neurology	The utility of the CRS model extends to other areas of biology. Our precise stress induction protocol leads to a significant elevation of stress hormones like corticosterone and CRH. These hormonal shifts have been shown to impact the reproductive system, causing the excessive activation of primordial follicles in the ovaries and the deregulation of the estrous cycle. We can leverage these effects to investigate the long-term impacts of stress on fertility and overall reproductive health.
