[Experimental research on the adaptogenic properties of Kryms'kyĭ balsam].

The effect of balsam "Kryms'kyĭ" has been studied in chronic experiments on Wistar rats. It is proved that peroral administration of balsam "Kryms'kyĭ" to rat for 4-7 days enhances excretion of 17-KC, static and dynamic muscular workability, resistance to hypoxia, accelerates elimination of xenobiotics, decreases stress-induced damages of the stomach mucosa, myocardium and lymphopenia.
