[The effect of diazepam on the activity of carboxypeptidase N and the angiotensin-converting enzyme in sections of the brain of rats with differing normal emotionality and in emotional stress]. / Vliianie diazepama na aktivnost' karboksipeptidazy N i angiotenzinprevrashchaiushchego fermenta v otdelakh mozga krys s razlichnoi émotsional'nost'iu v norme i pri émotsional'nom stresse.

Diazepam increased the carboxypeptidase H activity and decreased the angiotensin converting enzyme activity in the rat brain. Joint action of diazepam and emotional stress changed the carboxypeptidase H activity to the least extent and the angiotensin converting enzyme activity to the utmost extent as compared to the agents' separate effects. The role of both enzymes in the diazepam effect is discussed.

[The effect of emotional-pain stress and ethanol on carboxypeptidase-N-like activity in rat hypophysis and serum]. / Vliianie émotsional'no-bolevogo stressa i étanola na karboksipeptidazo-H-podobnuiu sktivnost' v gipofize i syvorotke krovi krys.

Emotional-painful stress and alcohol intoxication activated carboxypeptidase H in the rat pituitary gland. The enzymatic activity was lower in chronic emotional-painful stress and alcohol consumption than that of their single exposure, but higher than that in control rats. In blood serum carboxypeptidase H-like activity was increased after the single emotional-painful stress, while it decreased in chronic stress. Ethanol affected the enzymatic activity in blood serum less significantly than in the pituitary gland.
