title: Simultaneous stress-induced metabolic changes in the stomach and periodontium.
abstract: Stress-induced changes in the stomach and periodontium were studied in animals with various types of nervous regulation pretreated with the regulatory peptide thymopentin. The interrelation between metabolic and structural changes in these highly sensitive to stress organs was revealed. Behaviorally active rats were most sensitive to stress. Pretreatment with thymopentin produced a stress-protective effect and attenuated stress-induced degradation of glycoproteins in digestive organs.
