[Growth, reproductive function, and tolerance to load tests in rats under repetitive adverse conditions].
Wistar rats were subjected to a 3.5-day water deprivation once a month in the period of 1 to 10 months of age. The rats' adaptive abilities proved sufficient for compensation of adverse effects, the rats preserved their normal motor activity, emotionality, and orienting behaviour in the intervals between the effects. In the reproductive period, the males manifested a normal sexual behaviour and fertilizing capacity of their spermatozoids. In the end of the experiment, the experimental animals did not differ from the control animals.
