Abstract:
Blood hormonal levels and lymphocyte beta-adrenoceptor characteristics have been studied in subjects exposed to acute noise stress. Cortisol and DHEAS show a peak at 15 min after the beginning of the stimulus. Catecholamine levels show an increase in 4 out of 8 subjects. However, no statistically significant changes have been observed in beta-adrenoceptor characteristics.
