Myocardial and adrenal catecholamine levels were measured in experiments on animals exposed to emotional pain stress. Their levels were found to be affected by lipoic acid, tocopherol, obsidan or their combinations in the same doses, taking into account species specificity.

Data were obtained on the activation of the sympathetic-adrenal and kinin system in rheumocarditis with disorders of the cardiac rhythm. A relationship was established between the components of these systems.

There were no significant changes in the amounts of AD and NA in other areas of the central nervous system. These responses were effectively abolished by pre-intrathecal injection of D-pro2, D-phe7 or D-Trp8-SP.
