[Effect of rarely repeated immobilization episodes on hypoxia-tolerance and anxiogenic stress severity].

4 episodes of immobilization stress (60 minutes, once 72 hours) led to diminution of hypoxia tolerance and anxiety-depressive disorders of behavior. The later shifts were associated with decrease of IL-4 concentration and simultaneous increase of IL-6 level in blood serum. The stress-induced behavioral shifts appeared to correlate with IL-4 concentration in blood of stress-sustained rats.
