ABSTRAK
Stres merupakan sebarang
gangguan, cabaran
atau ancaman kepada
seseorang individu
yang merangsang perubahan respon fizikal, mental dan emosi. Hormon stres dan katekolamin
dirembeskan di dalam
otak sebagai respon
terhadap stres.
Kajian ini mengenal pasti
kesan tokotrienol
tulen dan vitamin E sawit ke atas
perubahan hormon
stres dan katekolamin
pada tikus
yang diaruhkan stres imobilisasi rendaman air.
Sebanyak 32 ekor tikus Wistar
jantan telah
dibahagikan secara rawak kepada empat
kumpulan kajian.
Dua kumpulan kawalan;
kumpulan tanpa
stres (NS) dan kumpulan tanpa stres (CS) serta dua kumpulan rawatan
yang diberikan tokotrienol
(TTS)
atau vitamin E sawit
(TFS)
secara oral paksaan
pada dos 60 mg/kg berat badan selama 28 hari. Setelah tamat tempoh rawatan,
tikus daripada
kumpulan CS, TTS dan TFS telah didedahkan kepada stres imobilisasi rendaman air selama tiga setengan jam. Kemudian, otak tikus diambil
untuk pengukuran
hormon pelepasan kotikotrofin (CRH), hormon
adenokortikotropik (ACTH),
norepinefrin, dopamin
dan serotonin. Keputusan kajian mendapati
peningkatan kandungan
CRH,
ACTH,
norepinefrin dan
dopamine di dalam otak
tikus yang diaruh stres berbanding kumpulan kawalan tanpa stres. Kandungan serotonin
pula menurun akibat
stres. Walau
bagaimanapun, tikus yang diberi suplementasi tokotrienol dan vitamin E sawit menunjukkan penurunan signifikan kandungan CRH, ACTH,
norepinefrin dan
dopamin serta peningkatan
kandungan dan
serotonin sehingga hampir ke aras normal. Tiada perbezaan antara pemberian tokotrienol dan vitamin E sawit. Sebagai kesimpulan, tokotrienol dan vitamin E sawit berkesan dalam mengawal perubahan hormon stres serta
katekolamin pada
otak tikus yang teraruh stres.

ABSTRACT
Stress includes any disturbances,
challenges or threats to an individual, which stimulates physical,
mental and emotional responses. Stress hormones and catecholamines are released from the brain in response to
stress. Antioxidant properties of vitamin E had been proven to
help in reducing stress. This study was designed to investigate
the effects of tocotrienol and palm vitamin E supplementation on stress hormones
and catecholamines in stress-induced
rats. Thirty two male Wistar rats were
randomly assigned into four groups, consisted of two control groups
(NS and
CS)
which were fed with a commercially prepared normal rat diet while
two treatment groups (TTS and TFS) were given tocotrienol or palm vitamin E orally in the dose of 60 mg/kg
body weight. After 28 days of treatment; CS,
TTS
and TFS
rats were subjected to water-immersion restraint
stress for three and a half hours once. The rats were killed and
their brain was taken to determine stress hormones and catecholamines
levels. The findings showed that stressed (CS) rats had a
significantly higher levels of CRH, ACTH,
norepinephrine and dopamine and lower level of serotonin in the
brain. Interestingly, supplementation with both tocotrienol
and palm vitamin E were able to significantly reduced the CRH,
ACTH,
norepinephrine and dopamine levels. No difference was observed
when comparing the effects of tocotrienol
with palm vitamin E. In conclusion, tocotrienol
and palm vitamin E are capable in reducing changes to the stress
hormones and catecholamines in stress-induced
rats.
