DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE FOR POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER MODELLED IN LABORATORY ANIMALS

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: laboratory animals are exposed to "recalling" stress. The diagnostics is based on blood parametres in the hormone samples taken in the pre set time with the blood samples drawn in 30 and 60 minutes after the stress. Each sample is analysed for corticosterone concentration. And if in the 60-minute sample, it is lower than in the 30-minute sample, posttraumatic stress disorder in an animal unit is diagnosed.;EFFECT: method requires introduction of an exogenous hormone, thereby enabling to observe an indicator via the level of endogenic glucocorticoids, and to diagnose specific disorders of fast regulation of hypophysial-adrenocortical systems.;2 dwg, 1 ex
