The article deals with the results of experimental study of adaptation reactions in mild craniocerebral trauma (MCCT) combined with acute alcoholic intoxication on the basis of appraisal of the dynamics of endocrine and neuromediator shifts. A stress character of these shifts was revealed. Acute alcoholic intoxication levelled the stress reaction occurring in MCCT.

The thyroid gland functional state was studied by means of 131J-triiodothyronine in minks of two genotypes. The thyroid activity in the standard (dark brown) minks increased from the 3--4th month of postnatal ontogenesis (July--August) and decreased gradually by the 6th month (november). Similar changes in the thyroid activity were found in the Hedlung (white) minks as well. Their thyroid activity was, however, markedly higher on the 3rd month than in the standard minks.

Positive correlation was observed between the thermostability level of the parental sperm and that of muscles in the progeny of the frog R. temporaria. The data obtained indicate that in animal evolution the thermostability of cells may be monitored by non-thermal factor or factors.
