[The inhibitor of free radical processes decrease of protein biosynthesis in gun short wound tissues and weaken development of the general adaptation syndrome].

The dynamics of total protein biosynthesis and procollagen biosynthesis in skeletal muscle of injury tissues with the antioxidant BHT (dibunol) treatment and with common healing were studied. The obtained date indicate that the AO treatment reduce the rate of biosynthesis both the total proteins and procollagen at the 3th day of healing. Dibunol also considerably reduce the protein biosynthesis in adrenals and brake of corticosteroids biogenesis as measured by ESR-signals intensity of reduced adrenodoxine. AO treatment also reduce the protein biosynthesis in thymus, spleen and bone marrow. The lowering of functional activity of endocrine and immune systems indicate that the AO significantly inhibit the systemic reactions of organism induced by acute wound affect. It was suggested that as "primary mediator" of stress-reaction may be considered lipoperoxide radicals and decay products of lipohydroperoide.

[General adaptation syndrome (Selye) in the calf. 5. Effect of increased glucocorticosteroid values on the phagocytosis activity of luekocytes, the function of RHS and the morphology of lymphatic organs].

Studies were conducted with the view to elucidating the correlations between increased glucocorticosteroid levels in the blood and the defense potential of calf organism against infectious diseases. The test animals were exposed to several substances (ACTH, cortisol, colibacteria, coliendotoxin), and even one to two days of increased 11-OHKS values were followed by marked decline in phagocytosis activity of leucocytes. In addition, RHS function was considerably reduced, after ten to thirteen days of application had elapsed, since at that point the disappearance of intravenously applied bacteria from circulating blood of test animals took place at rates which were much lower than those recorded from untreated calves. Differentiated length of stress or action (four to thirteen days) was followed by conspicuous changes in the lymphatic tissue of calf organism, with severe involution of thymus and follicular atrophy of intestine-associated lymphatic tissue having been the major findings. The results seem to suggest that rise in adrenocortical hormone level under stress may reduce potential organic defense to infection.

[Indices of lipid free-radical oxidation and of antiradical protection of the brain--the neurochemical correlates of the development of the general adaptation syndrome].

The stage of rat long-term adaptation to chronic emotional-pain stress is characterized by an increase of superoxide dismutase brain activity and superoxide-scavenging blood serum activity, accumulation of fluorescent products of free-radical oxidation, reduction of phospholipids and cholesterin contents in the brain lipid extracts. In the process of prolonged adaptation to the continuing chronic emotional-pain stress three periods are singled out, each of which with a definite correlation of characteristics of vegetative functions, behaviour, intensity of free-radical oxidation and antiradical defence.

[General adaptation syndrome (Selye) in cattle. 6. Influence of stress conditions on antibody levels after active and passive immunization as well as on the topographic distribution of various groups of pathogens in the gastrointestinal canal].

The action of experimental and natural stressors on the humoral immune response of calf was studied. Particular attention was given to the H-antigen of S.dublin and equine erythrocytes,the degradation rate of passively acquired humoral antibody, as well as the quantity and topographic distribution of certain groups of germs in the gastrointestinal tract. The following results were obtained:1. Antibody formation was impededby repeated or lasting stressor effect (ACTH injections). 2. The immunological reactions of the calves involved to antigen injection immediately after transport into the rearing unit were stronger than those to antigen application three days from transfer. Immunisation of animals transferred to rearing or fattening units, therefore, should be applied immediately after arrival in the new accomodation, but no interval of three or four days should be allowed. 3. Antibody formation was no longer impaired in calves immunised two weeks from transfer, as compared to those immunised immediately after arrival in the rearing unit. This seemed to suggest that by that time adaptation of the animals to their new environment had been almost complete. 4. Lasting stress (slow drip infusion of ACTH, cortisol, colibacteria or coli-endotoxin) led to no detectable by paper electrophoresis. 5. Calves that had been given three weekly dosesof 1 IU ACTH per kilogram of live weight through four weeks,did not differ,withthe authors'method,from the controls regarding the decomposition rate of passively acquired humoral antibody. 6. ACTH slow drip infusions of calves over several days caused higher concentrations of colibacteria throughout the intestinal tract, including those proximal sections of the small intestine in which little or no colibacteria should occur under physiological conditions in calves of that age.
