title: [Hormone-protein interactions and functional activity of the adrenal cortex during adaptation to pressure chamber hypoxia].
abstract: Blood plasma and adrenals of rats subjected to the exposure of deep pressure-chamber hypoxia are studied. The method of high-performance liquid chromatography is used to determine the content of corticosterone and deoxycorticosterone as well as the binding ability of transcortin relative to hydrocortisone and corticosterone before and after ectomy of endogenic hormones. It is shown that hyperactivation of adrenals occurs already the first 20 min of the experiment, which is preserved during the whole experiment lowering, to some extent, by 150, 240 min. The binding ability of transcortin considerably lowers in the acute phase of stress and after the prolonged hypoxic exposure due to a 1.5-1.9-fold decrease in the number of the binding sites in the protein. The equilibrium redistribution is revealed in the plasma between free corticosterone and corticosterone bound to transcortin at the different stages of the hypoxic exposure.
