ABSTRACT
Wistar strain albino rats of either sex were subjected to acute noise stress (3000 Hz at > 97 dB) for 30 minutes. Carbon clearance test was conducted in noise stressed animals immediately after the stress period. Significant (P < 0.001) increase of the clearance constant K was observed in stressed animals compared to the controls, indicating increased phagocytic activity of the reticuloendothelial system.
