Effect of flickering light stress on certain biochemical parameters in rats.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The acute effects of flickering light of 80 Lux intensity for thirty minutes duration, on plasma corticosterone, total serum cholesterol, serum triglycerides, serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) and serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) levels were studied in albino rats. Statistically significant increase was observed in the corticosterone, cholesterol, SGOT and SGPT, while a marked reduction was seen in the serum triglyceride level, indicating that the flickering light is a potent stressor to these animals causing alterations in the biochemical parameters studied.
