Abstract
Peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) density in blood platelets and plasma allopregnanolone concentration in humans were determined following acute stress as represented by PhD examination. Fifteen healthy PhD students participated. Heart rate, blood pressure, plasma allopregnanolone, plasma cortisol, and PBR density were measured at different time points. Allopregnanolone and cortisol concentration and PBR density were significantly increased during examination. A positive correlation between allopregnanolone and PBR density was found.
