ON THE INFLUENCE OF REPEATED NOISE STRESS ON RATS (UBER DEN EINFLUSS WIEDERHOLTER LARMBELASTUNG AUF RATTEN)

Abstract

The influence of repeated noise on rats was investigated. In comparison with untreated control animals and the initial values of the test animals, it was determined that the excretion of catechol amines in the urine is increased, free fatty-acids in the blood plasma increases, there is an increase in the weight of the adrenal glands and the growth of the animal is inhibited. The development of the weight curves also displays characteristic changes. The secretion of 5-hudroxyindolic acetic acid, however, does not change significantly. Consequently, noise is to be used as a model for the study of stress reactions.
