Abstract

The content of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) was studied in the brain structures of rats borne by intact females and females that underwent stress. In the offspring of stressed rats, the GFAP content in the brain gray and white matter on the 15th postnatal day noticeably dropped. On the 30th postnatal day, the GFAP content in the cortex and pons increased, while it somewhat decreased in the striatum and cerebellum. The results suggest that formation of the intermediate astrocyte filaments in the animals subjected to prenatal stress is markedly disturbed.
