Abstract
The functional state of adrenal system was studied using animals with different durations of ethanol-induced sleep following ethanol treatme nt (1 or 10 times, i.p.. 3,5 g/kg). Adrenal glands of non-sleeping rat s responded to ethanol injection more pronouncedly, than those of long -sleeping rats. It was suggested by significantly higher corticosteron e level, as well as sufficient rise of adrenal glands weight (1,5-fold ) observed in non-sleeping and long-sleeping rats after 10-fold inject ions of ethanol, being expressed more strongly in non-sleeping rats. T he results obtained suggest, that non-sleeping animals can characteriz ed by higher sensitivity and reactivity of pituitary - adrenal system after ethanol intake.
