Abstract

Stress differently affects various links of the immune response and produces different effects on the central and peripheral organs of the immune defense. An experimental study revealed the influence of different types of chronic psycho-emotional stress on the dynamics of body weight and organs of the central and pe- ripheral parts of the immune system in early postnatal ontogenesis. It is determined that stress-induced changes are subject to different patterns. Especially high sensitivity of immunogenesis organs to the action of stress is observed during the transition to independent nutrition, the suction period.
