Active coping towards predatory stress is associated with lower corticosterone and pr

Abstract
An active coping style displayed under stress – which involves proactive investigatory responses towards environmental threats – has been associated with reduced vulnerability to psychiatric illness. However, the neurobiological determinants of coping styles are not well understood. When rats are exposed to a naturalistic stressor (cat fur) in a group, some individuals in the group show robust active investigation of the stimulus while others show a passive response involving retreat, immobility and close aggregation with conspecifics. Here we explored endocrine and epigenetic correlates of these contrasting coping styles. Male Wistar rats (n=48) were exposed to cat fur in groups of 4 and the passive and active responders were identified and assessed for endocrine and epigenetic differences. Three days after the final cat fur exposure, active responders had substantially lower plasma levels of corticosterone and progesterone than passive responders. Plasma and testicular testosterone levels did not differ between active and passive responders. Active responders had markedly less methylation of the AVP CGCG promoter region located at base 4970 in the posterodorsal region of the medial amygdala but did not differ in the methylation status of the CCGG sequence located at base 2243. This is in agreement with prior research suggesting that AVP and progesterone act in opposition within the medial amygdala to modulate stress-related behaviours. The present study reports striking endocrine and epigenetic differences between active and passive responders, providing insight into potential systems involved in the manifestation of differing coping styles.

The Rewired Trainer is all about making fitness work seamlessly with your life. You work out during the work week, and you rest during the weekend. Use this time as an opportunity to catch up on life and engage in the best kind of “active rest,” whatever that means for you.
Maybe it’s a hike with your friends, a bike ride to the library with your family, or tug-of-war with your dog. Maybe just walk to the store instead of driving. What you do is up to you. Just make sure you enjoy it!
There’s another advantage to having both Saturday and Sunday free: You can use one of the days to make up a missed workout from earlier in the week. Maybe you were busy, had to travel, or an emergency came up. This is your pass—no questions asked!

One thing that coming back from a life-threatening car crash taught James Grage is that the body needs time and space to heal from intense physical training, the same way it heals from injuries. He still trains hard and does what is necessary to break down muscle tissue, but he also devotes time to recovery essentials like stretching, sleep, and nutrition.
“Progress is all in the recovery,” Grage says. “If I can’t recover from it, it’s pointless.”
Today is another active rest day in the Rewired Trainer, but that can mean whatever you need it to mean right now. Make up a workout if you’ve missed one, or just go for a walk, foam roll, or engage in mobility work. If you need, take a complete rest day.
Most importantly, take some time to regroup mentally and check in with yourself about how this trainer is going for you. Have you been tracking your progress over the last week on BodySpace or in a workout log? Do you need to revisit your personality test video for a reminder of what you’re working for over these nine weeks? Rewired is a mental trainer first and foremost, so do what’s necessary to get in the mindset to complete another five straight days of hard work in the gym!
