Modulation of Chronic Stress Outcomes by Dietary Sweeteners: A Comparative Study of Sucrose and Aspartame in Mice حسب Akil, Shaymaa

"…It has been suggested that sucrose consumption attenuates stress-induced cortisol secretion, whereas aspartame has been reported to increase activity of glucocorticoids and anxiety-like behavior in rodents Aim: The present study aimed to assess the differential effects of sucrose and aspartame on the physiological and behavioral response in chronic stress in mice. Method: Female C57BL/6J mice (n > 275, aged 8–10 weeks) were given plain water, 12.3% sucrose, or 0.03% aspartame for two weeks, then half of each group underwent a 3-week chronic variable stress (CVS) protocol using mild unpredictable stressors. …"
