Involvement of autoantibodies to neurotransmitters in mechanisms of stress reaction in rats.

Combined stress exposure of rats can lead to the formation of autoantibodies to neurotransmitters. Repeated stress is associated with the production of autoantibodies to serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, glutamate, and GABA. High emotional and behavioral reaction to stress is associated with intensive production of autoantibodies to serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and glutamate.
