Abstract
Emotional stress causes a decrease in the relative mass of the thymus, adrenals, and spleen in August, Wistar, and WAG rats, which is the greatest in animals with a low motor activity in the open field test. Intraventricular administration of interleukin-1β diminishes the decrease in the relative mass of spleen in August and Wistar rats, has no significant effect on the relative mass of thymus in all rats, and leads to an increase in the relative mass of adrenals in immobilized WAG rats.
