Fz. Meerson et al., INDUCTION OF ADAPTATION TO STRESS IN RATS BY REPEATED TRANSCRANIAL ELECTROSTIMULATION, Bulletin of experimental biology and medicine, 117(1), 1994, pp. 12-14
A single transcranial electrostimulation of rats results, as does acut
e stress, in a fourfold elevation of plasma corticosterone, whereas af
ter a course of several electrostimulations plasma corticosterone is n
ot elevated and a threefold rise in plasma beta-endorphin is recorded.
Rats that undergoing a course of transcranial electrostimulations and
then subjected to an immobilization stress do not show any rise in pl
asma corticosterone.
