Popis: Enzyme immunoassay was used to study the contents of beta-endorphin and delta-sleep inducing peptide (DSIP) in blood and hypothalamus in rats of Wistar and August lines under acute emotional stress. The stress-resistance of the animals was determined by using preliminary behavior tests. The rats were divided into two groups and predisposed to acute emotional stress. It was found that the contents of these peptides in Wistar-rats, which are more resistant to emotional stress, were higher compared with the August-rats, which are more predisposed to emotional stress. It was shown that the contents of beta-endorphin and DSIP in Wistar-rats is higher than in predisposed Wistar-rats.
