Although previous studies have independently examined alterations in the hypothalamic\u2013pituitary\u2013adrenal (HPA) axis, sympathetic nervous system (SNS), and endogenous opioid system during prediabetes, the temporal interactions among these systems during disease progression remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate changes in these interconnected neuroendocrine pathways in a diet-induced prediabetic rats.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 48) were exposed to a standard diet (non-prediabetic, n =24) or an HFHC diet (prediabetic, n =24) for 20 weeks.

These changes were accompanied by significant expressions of glucocorticoid and opioid receptors. By week 24, CORT, dopamine, and \u03b2-endorphin concentrations increased in the PD group compared with the NPD group, receptor transcripts were significantly downregulated, except for MOR, which was upregulated. At week 28, receptor expression remained downregulated. By week 32, plasma hormones and hippocampal receptor mRNA expression increased in the PD group.
