title: [Changes in secretion of sex steroid hormones during stress in rats with various brain excitability].
abstract: A stress procedure decreased the plasma progesterone faster in highly excitable rats than in the less excitable those. The decrease in gonadal and adrenal progesterone was still obvious in 24 hours in both groups of rats but more obvious in the former group in respect to the progesterone level. The data obtained may help to understand individual ability to respond to a stress in a different way depending on functional condition of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis.
