TL;DR
The ulcer susceptibility of WKY rats; the WR technique is a useful ulcerogenic procedure; and hypothermia is a weak covariant to restraint-induced stress ulcer.
Abstract
Two ulcerogenic procedures, supine restraint (SR) and water restraint (WR) were compared. In Experiment 1, Fischer-344 (F344), Sprague-Dawley (S-D), Wistar, Long-Evans (L-E), Spontaneously Hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar Kyoto normotensive (WKY) rats were exposed to SR and WR. WR produced more ulcers than SR. There was no difference in ulcer scores between WKY, F344 and L-E but these rats had significantly more ulcers as compared to SHR, Wistar and S-D rats. In Experiment 2, 4- and 16-month-old SHR, WKY and F344 rats were exposed to SR and WR. The older WKY rats had more ulcers than all other treatment groups. Experiment 3 revealed no significant differences between male and female rats exposed to either SR or WR. Body temperature (BT) scores obtained after restraint and after 2-hr postrestraint rest were only marginally related to ulcer severity. Rats exposed to WR had lower BT scores but the strain and age ulcer differences did not have corresponding BT differences. These studies revealed the following: the ulcer susceptibility of WKY rats; the WR technique is a useful ulcerogenic procedure; and hypothermia is a weak covariant to restraint-induced stress ulcer.

A simple and reliable method for production of gastric ulcer on rats by stress was described and Anticholinergics or central depressants effectively inhibited the ulceration and combination of both drugs suppressed it more effectively than single administration of each drug.

Rumenal ulcers were observed in some rats after 3 days fasting and in all rats fasted 5 or more days, and the addition of shock stress to the fasting schedule did not increase ulcer incidence.

This investigation seeks to determine whether hypothermia is causally related to the restraint ulcer, and prevention of this phenomenon reduces the incidence of ulcers.

Analysis of the severity and number of glandular stomach lesions indicated that animals subjected to the pre-shock exhibited greater ulceration than unshocked animals, as long as no post-stress rest period was allowed.

A sustained activation hypothesis for ulceration is favored, whereby presentation of the CS effectively prolonged the length of time during which animals were under stress, thus enhancing the degree of ulcerations.

Evidence is presented that hypothermia plays an important role in the process and appropriately restrained rats, whether single or parabiosed, develop macroscopic ulcerations and show a significant drop in body temperature during restraint.

Experiment 3 indicated that cimetidine significantly accelerated the rate of healing for supine-restraint lesions and comparisons with conventional restraint procedures would suggest a slower healing rate for lesions induced with supine restraint.

The findings suggest that the rat stomach is differentially susceptible to restraint-induced lesion formation, and shorter fasting intervals are related to lesions in the corpus of the stomach, while protracted periods of fasting will intensify rumenal pathology.
