Title Adrenal system reaction to additional stress in the state of fatigue and limited motor activity.
Bibliographic information 1972, Vol.23, p.11-17. Illus. 12 ref.
Abstract Results of animal experiments carried out to determine the response of the adrenal system to a heat stress applied after a 25-day period of motor activity restriction. During this period, the epinephrine level in the adrenal glands and the plasma fell by 10%, while the norepinephrine level remained constant. The heat stress response of the immobilised animals hardly differed from that of the controls, the only difference being a slight delay in response of the former, which is considered to be a consequence of the hyporeactivity developed during motor activity restriction.
