ABSTRACT
The effect of acute noise stress on albino rats was studied by estimating the plasma corticosterone level, total leukocyte count and differential leukocyte count. Neutrophil function was assessed by Candida phagocytosis and Nitroblue tetrazolium reduction test. The total leukocyte count was significantly decreased. No significant changes were observed in the differential count of the leukocytes. A significant increase in the plasma corticosterone level, Candida phagocytosis and Nitroblue tetrazolium reduction was observed indicating acute noise to be a potent stressor in albino rats.
