Plain Language Summary

This study examined blood albumin as a mechanism of individual stress resistance in rats, with Semax serving as a modulatory intervention. The relationship between albumin binding capacity and emotional stress resilience was characterized alongside peptidergic regulation.

Abstract

This report describes studies of the characteristics of serum albumin in rats with different predicted levels of resistance to emotional stress in control conditions and in conditions of experimental emotional stress. The effects of peptides increasing the resistance of animals to emotional stress (delta sleep-inducing peptide and Semax) on serum albumin were analyzed in rats predicted to be resistant and susceptible to emotional stress.
