Four episodes of immobilization stress caused anxiogenic behavioral disorders accompanied by a decrease in sensitivity to glucocorticoid hormones, by an increase in the activity of monoaminooxidase (MAO-B) in the brain tissue, an enhancement in glucose load tolerance, and a reduction in acute hypoxia tolerance in rats. Alloxan-induced diabetes was also associated with a reduction of rat behavioral activity in the open field along with an increase in the cerebral activity of MAO-B. Prior anxiogenic stress potentiated an alloxan-induced increase in cerebral MAO- B activity, enhanced concomitant behavioral disorders in rats, and increased the hyperglycemic effect of alloxan.
