[ACTH-producing function of the adenohypophysis and adrenal weight in the offspring of female rats with chronic liver injury].

Abstract

ACTH-producing function of adenohypophysis in posterity of female rats with chronic liver injury in different periods of early postnatal ontogenesis has been examined as well as the functional state and reserve potentialities of adenohypophysis in case of immobilized stress. The obtained findings indicate the decreased reserve potentialities of the hypophyso-adrenal system in the process of adaptation to stress loads.
