Abstract
Rats were exposed to systemic stress of anoxia (partial pressure of oxygen = 47 mm Hg), heat (42[degree]C) and cold (4[degree]C). Immediately afterwards the animals were killed and the brain analyzed for K content. In the stressed rats the K concentration was found to be significantly lower than in the controls.Keywords
