The excretory function of the pancreas was studied on albino rats during thermal stress and ACTH (corticotropine) administration. Stress inhibited the enzyme-synthesizing and enzyme-secreting functions of the gland. The tranquilizer phenazepam influencing the GABA-ergic brain systems exerted a protective effect on pancreatic exosecretion in stress and its strength depended on the administration regimen of the drug. Experiments with corticotropine have shown that the antistress effect of phenazepam, to a certain extent is related to its action on the level of ACTH production in the hypophysis.
