  • Title: Biochemical changes in acute noise stress in rats.
    Author: Prabhakaran K, Suthanthirarajan N, Namasivayam A.
    Journal: Indian J Physiol Pharmacol; 1988; 32(2):100-4. PubMed ID: 3182056.
    Abstract:
    The effects of acute auditory stress on certain biochemical parameters like blood corticosterone, total cholesterol, triglyceride, Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) and Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) were studied in albino rats. A significant increase was observed in the blood level of corticosterone, total cholesterol, SGOT and SGPT while a marked reduction was noticed in the Sr. triglyceride level. These data indicate that noise could be a potent stressor and cause disturbances in the biochemical parameters of the body. It is presumed that most of the effects are indirect, being manifested through the activation of autonomic nervous system which liberates catecholamines and hypothalamo pituitary adrenal axis responsible for the liberation of corticosteroids.
