[Plasma corticosterone level in experimental mild cranio-cerebral injury in rabbits]

The content of corticosterone in the rabbits blood plasma in dynamics of experimental brain concussion was studied. We found two peaks of elevating the content of corticosterone during two weeks (15 minutes-2 hours, 7 days). Level of corticosterone more than twice exceeded the control values after 3 months of concussion. We can conclude that the brain concussion distinct from the stress action was more deep and in some cases with irreversible changes in neuro-humoral status.
