Sažetak
The effect of stress 2 hours after application of reserpine in a dose of 8 mg/kg p/o, single, and chlorpromazine, in doses of 20, 50 and 100 mg/kg, p/o, single, on corticosterone level in the plasma and adrenals was investigated. Reserpine induces manifest clinical sedation in poultry after 2 hours, simultaneosly and significantly incresing corticosterone levels in the plasma and adrenals. Significant reduction of corticosterone concentration after stress in the plasma and adrenals of treated ckickens was established. Chlorpromazine does not produce clinical sedation, nor does it induces changes in corticosterone levels in plasma and adrenals.
