title: Open field behavior and the state of the thymus and adrenal glands in rats after exposure to stress and elevation of blood level of autoantibodies to dopamine and glutamate.
abstract: Blood level of autoantibodies to dopamine and glutamate in rats increased in 4 weeks after exposure to stress. Under these conditions, active animals demonstrated decreased motor and exploratory activity in the open field, while in passive animals, only the number of explored objects decreased. The increase in blood level of autoantibodies to dopamine and glutamate in rats exposed to stress was followed by an increase in the adrenal gland weight in active animals and thymus weight in passive animals. The increased blood level of autoantibodies to dopamine and glutamate in rats exposed to stress reflects the development of the long-term stress-induced response.
