title: Changes in activity of stress-realizing body systems as a result of terahertz irradiation at nitric oxide frequencies in albino rats under conditions of acute stress.
abstract: We studied the effects of irradiation with teraherz electromagnetic waves at frequencies corresponding to nitric oxide emission and absorption molecular spectrum (150,176-150,664 GHz) on activity of the sympathoadrenal and pituitary-adrenal axes of the stress response in albino male rats under conditions of acute immobilization stress. It was shown that terahertz waves exert stress-limiting effect and are capable of reducing the levels of catecholamines, corticotropin, and corticosterone in male rats exposed to acute stress.
