Abstract: | Experiments on rats were made to study the effects of enkephalins on blood cortisol, insulin and glucose and excretion of catecholamines with urine during stress. In mild stress, enkephalins were demonstrated to be able to increase the catabolic processes, thereby accelerating the transition of the reaction to the phase of resistance. In severe stress, parenteral administration of enkephalins was discovered to promote the reduction in alterations of the parameters under study characteristic of stress. |
