Abstract

A significant influence of the type of higher nervous activity on the content of total protein (F = 11.2 > FU = 2.90; Р < 0.001), albumins (F = 14.6 > FU = 2.90; Р < 0.001), globulins ( F = 3.02 > FU = 2.90; P < 0.05), β-globulins (F = 4.07 > FU = 2.90; P < 0.05), γ-globulins (F = 5, 52 > FU = 2.90; P < 0.01), lactate (F = 36.2 > FU = 2.90; P < 0.001) and pyruvate (F = 4.1 > FU = 2.90; P < 0.01), total cholesterol (F = 4.1 > FU = 2.90; P < 0.05) and triacylglycerols (F = 4.9 > FU = 2.90; P < 0.01) in the blood of dogs . Then, as the influence of higher nervous activity on the content of glucose (F = 0.69 < FU = 2.90; p = 0.56) and α-globulins (F = 1.50 < FU = 2.90; p = 0, 24) was not detected in the blood plasma of dogs. Short-term food deprivation also had a significant effect on the content of glucose (F = 18.7 > FU = 4.15; P < 0.001), β-globulins (F = 39.3 > FU = 4.15; P < 0.001), γ- globulins (F = 11.7 > FU = 4.15; P < 0.001), albumins (F = 19.1 > FU = 4.15; P < 0.001), globulins (F = 7.71 > FU = 4, 15; Р < 0.01), lactate (F = 50.0 < FU = 4.15; Р < 0.001), pyruvate (F = 20.7 < FU = 4.15; Р < 0.001), total cholesterol ( F = 5.7 < FU = 4.15; P < 0.05) and triacylglycerols (F = 11.5 < FU = 4.15; P < 0.01) in the blood of dogs. The influence of food deprivation on the content of total protein (F = 0.44 < FU = 4.15; p = 0.28) and α-globulins (F = 0.88 < FU = 4.15; p = 0.36) in the blood of experimental dogs has not been determined. During the entire experiment, no interfactorial interaction between short-term food deprivation and the type of higher nervous activity was established (F = 0.01–1.29 < FU = 2.90; p = 0.29–1.00), which indicates the absence of the influence of deprivation on the type of higher nervous activity of animals
