Abstract:The study was performed on 6 three-year-old Polish Merino ewes to examine the effects of prolonged intermittent footshock stimuli on the secretion of growth hormone (GH) in anestrous ewes. The state of stress was induced by electrical footshocks of enduring and repetitive character (20 min/h, 9 h daily during 3 consecutive days, current intensity 3 mA). The blood samples were taken at 2 h intervals on the day prior to stimulation (controls), during 3 days of footshock application, and on the post-stress day. T… Show more
