Abstract Adaptation to transauricular electrostimulation decreases the content of epinephrine in the adrenal glands and norepinephrine in the heart. Immobilization stress has no appreciable effect on the content of catecholamines in the heart and adrenal glands. In animals with myocardial infarction, the content of norepinephrine in the heart decreases 2-fold, while the content of epinephrine in the adrenals decreases inconsiderably. Adaptation to transauricular electrostimulation is associated with a rise in met-enkephalin concentration. Preadaptation induces a more pronounced rise of met-enkephalin and promotes normalization of epinephrine in the adrenals, without changing the content of norepinephrine in the heart.
