Influence of immobilization stress on behavioral reactions and oxidative processes in rats
Abstract
Stress is one of the most important factors affecting the functional state of the nervous system and the development of many pathological conditions. Immobilization stress leads to significant behavioral and biochemical changes associated with activation of oxidative processes. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of immobilization stress on behavioral reactions and indicators of oxidative stress in rats. Behavioral tests were performed together with biochemical assessment of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defense parameters. The results demonstrated that immobilization stress significantly alters behavioral responses and increases oxidative damage, indicating activation of stress-induced metabolic disturbances.
