[Blood lipid and blood glucose changes during single, multiple and repeated stress]

As soon as various stressors exceed specific thresholds they induce marked metabolic changes in the organism. In a number of studies these facts have been verified experimentally. In our investigations we were able to demonstrate that the pattern of stress-induced changes differs after single and multiple stress exposures and that metoblic alterations in repeated stress situations are modified by habituative and adaptative processes respectively. Stress-induced metabolic mechanisms differently develop for blood lipid fractions and blood glucose. The described mechanisms are explained according to the functions of these blood parameters during stress exposures. The differential analysis of these alterations may be important for the prevention of stress-induced metabolic disorders.
