RESUMEN
Experiments on outbred albino male rats showed that psychoemotional stress induced by intraperitoneal injection of cholecystokinin-4 (100 microg/kg) increased anxiety, impaired orientation and exploration activities in the elevated plus-maze and hole-board tests, and increased the level of depression of Porsolt test. Preliminary intranasal administration of glyprolines (15 min before cholecystokinin) in a dose of 3.7 micromol/kg prevented the development of stress-induced behavioral disturbances. Administration of peptides 30 min after cholecystokinin-4, i.e., to rats with developed behavioral disturbances, almost completely abolished these disturbances.

The distribution of the glyprolines Pro-Gly-Pro and Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro (Selanc) was analyzed and compared in tissues of rat organs after different ways of their administration using the peptides uniformly labeled with tritium. Comparative data on changes in concentrations of the peptides in the rat organs after their intraperitoneal, intranasal, intragastric, and intravenous administration are given. The intranasal administration of both peptides was shown to be optimal for the delivery of glyproline molecules in the CNS. A high affinity of the studied glyprolines for gastric tissues was found for all the ways of their administration. We suggest that a high efficiency of action of glyprolines on homeostasis of the gastric mucous tunic was partially provided by accumulation of these peptides (to high concentrations) in gastric tissues.
