title: [Effects of different acute and chronic stresses on general growth and adrenal cortex activity in rats].
abstract: Stress due to ether, physical strain, and exhaust gas applied to pubescent male rats either acutely or chronically, (15 days or 2 months) always induce a similar increase of plasmatic corticosterone. However, they induce other different changes (food intake, body growth, protein yield, and the relative growth of the liver, the testis and the heart). Thus we define for each type of aggression a non-specific action, characterized by a more or less similar activation of the pituitary-adrenal axis and an other specific action.
