Abstract excerpt
To evaluate a possible mechanism of stress-induced lymphopenic effect we assessed the activity of lymphocyte lysosomal enzymes (LE) under immobilization. The effects of immobilization stress on LE (AP, acid phosphatase, cathepsin D and L, beta-N-acetyl-glucosamidase) activity in lymphocytes, number of lymphocytes and plasma cortisol (COR) level in the peripheral blood were examined in the cross-bred Pietrain pigs...
