[Effect of chronic stimulation of rats with intact and deafferented hypothalamuses on lipid metabolism and the adrenal cortex].

Chronic irritation of the falsely operated rats and those with the deafferentated hypothalamus led to reduction of total blood cholesterol and the accumulation of triglycerides in the liver. Dexamethasone administration was accompanied by an increase of blood cholesterol and triglycerides and the triglyceride accumulation in the liver. The action of dexamethasone was more pronounced in the animals with the deafferentated hypothalamus. The rate of 11-oxycorticosteroid secretion into the adrenal vein is reduced in the latter.

[Glucocorticoid function of the adrenals and the state of the sympathetic-adrenal system in newborn infants with an hypoxic lesion of the central nervous system].

The convened studies demonstrated an activation of the hypothalamo-hypophysis-adrenal and sympathico-adrenal system in the newborn with slight and moderately expressed forms of CNS lesions. At the same time there was a relative insufficiency of such functions in children with severe forms of CNS lesions. The achieved data permit to substantiate the pathogenetical therapy.

Periodic psychosis recurring in association with menstrual cycle.

We reported seven cases of patients with regularly recurring psychosis in close association with the menstrual cycle, who showed certain characteristics in common in regard to their age of onset, clinical picture, psychogenic factors, endocrine and EEG findings. In these patients, monoamine metabolisms in the central nervous system, fluctuating in connection with menstrual cycle, may be disturbed by emotional impact or other unknown causes thereby delicately deranging the central nervous system activity, mentally and physiologically.

[Immunologic reactivity of the body and the adrenal cortex function in the early period after administration of a carcinogen].

The level of immunological reactivity and the functional state of the adrenal cortex were studied simultaneously in BALB/c mice 7 days after a single injection of various doses of methylcholanthrene. There existed a definite correlation between the immunodepression induced by various doses of methylcholanthrene determined according to the amount of plaque-forming cells in the experimental mouse spleen and free and combined 11-corticosteroids content in the blood plasma after 7 days of the carcinogen injection. This evidence suggests that the adrenal cortex hormones play a definite role in the pathogenesis of immunodepression induced by chemical carcinogenesis.

[Emotional stress in sheep caused by species specific acoustic signals of alarm].

Tape-record presentation of anxious bleating activates the hypophysal-adrenal system in sheep adapted to experimental conditions. Stressory reaction of the hypophysal-adrenal system is characterized by an unusually long latency (no less than 3 hours) and long duration. The pattern of the observed reaction depends on experimental conditions: in sheep that after stimulation were held in group, activation of the hypophysal-adrenal complex was much shorter than in sheep kept in pairs.

[Cock fighting as a model of emotional stress].

Aggressive and passive roosters displayed agonistic behaviour towards each other. The formers revealed a highly agonistic attitude in the first half of the experiment followed by an obvious decline. The passive roosters revealed a relatively stable agonstic attitude. The electrocardiorhythmograms showed that handling of the roosters and other manipulations masked the heart primary response to cock-fighting, and that the analysis of the heart rate during restitution only helped to estimate their emotional tension during fighting. Positive correlations between the aggressiveness and noradrenaline content in the plasma, were obtained. The latter correlated with the sexual activity as well. The agonistic behaviour entailed an insignificant activation of the adrenals.

[Dynamics of hormone secretion during chronic emotional stress].

Study of spontaneous secretion of corticosteroids and thyroid hormones and the direct hormonal response to stress revealed the pathogenic effect of chronic combined emotional stress upon the hormonal function of adrenal glands. The hippocampus takes part in formation of the emotional tension in response to stress stimulus and of the following hormonal secretion.

[Reactivity of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal-adrenal complex of adult rats after the administration of hydrocortisone to their mothers during pregnancy].

The effect of single and repeated injection of hydrocortisone to rats during the last week of pregnancy on the reactivity of the hypothalamic-hypophysial-suprarenal complex of their adult descendants was studied. The reaction of hypophysial-suprarenal system of the adult rats to an amotional stressor and injection of norepinephrine in the brain lateral vesicle was shown to decrease. Under similar experimental conditions the reaction to ether and combined stressors, as well as to intraventricular injection of 5-HT or carbocholine resembled that in the control animals. It is suggested that hydrocortisone injected during the prenatal period exerts, to a certain extent, the selective influence on the central adrenergic mechanisms the changes in which may serve as one of the causes of decrease in emotional reactivity of adult animals.

[The character of functional connections in the endocrine system of female white rats and their transformation with age].

The authors studied the functional interrelations between the adrenal glands and the thyroid gland of female albino rats of various age groups. Blood content of 11-oxycorticosteroids and protein-bound iodine was determined. Analogous determinations were carried out in partial exclusion of the adrenal gland function (metapyron block) and of the thyroid gland function (6-methyluracil block). It is supposed that in the young sexually-mature female albino rats the functions of the adrenal glands and the thyroid gland were in direct relationship irrespective of the cyclic variations in the sex steroid secretion; with the advance of age this association became deranged.

[Activity of adrenal cytoplasmic dehydrogenase following prolonged ACTH administration].

The activity of cytoplasmic dehydrogenases of the adrenal cells was examined during the prolonged injections of ACTH to Wistar rats. The indices of specific steroid synthesis function of the glands remained relatively high in the course of the whole experiment. Changes in the rats of corticosterone synthesis and dehydrogenase activities were phasic in character; they included an initial synchronic activation the first two days with its subsequent decrease (7 days of ACTH injections). The prevalence of activities of NADP-dependent dehydrogenases in combination with reactivation of steroidogenesis was marked during the concluding phase (13 days) of the experiment. A possibility of the adaptive role of selective activation of NADP-dependent enzymes in the maintenance of a high level of hormone biosynthesis under conditions of prolonged ACTH stimulation is discussed.

[Effect of long-lasting noise on the plasma concentration of catecholamines, glucocorticosteroids and PBI in pigs].

Exposure of pigs with a body mass of 25-30 kg to long-lasting motor noise (108 dB, 60-8000 Hz, 72 hours) results in a considerable increase of catecholamine concentration in the plasma. Coincidently there is a sharp continuous decrease of the 11-OHKS in the plasma during the whole period of exposure to noise. Immediately after stopping the acoustic irritation the concentration of plasma corticosteroids increases again. The electroencephalogram (EEG) giving evidence of inhibition signs during exposure to noise an adaptation effect of the information processing system is concluded. The increase of the PBJ during the period of acoustic stress points to an increased function of the thyroid gland but simultaneously it is considered to be an expression of the elevated adrenergic situation. By reason of the strong deviation of the three observed regulatory systems must be concluded that longer-lasting exposure to noise with the applied quality and intensity represents a stress situation for pigs having noise character as established for men. A possible influence on the productivity of the pork type pig by permanent acoustic stress is indicated.
