Abstract
Stress during gestation has a complex impact on the maternal organism and fetal development, leading to long-term changes in the neurophysiology and metabolism of offspring. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adaptogenic potential of lithium ascorbate in correcting stress responses in pregnant sows. The results demonstrate a pronounced modulatory effect of the studied compound on the hypothalamic- pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The data obtained indicate the potential of lithium ascorbate for the prevention of stress-associated reproductive dysfunctions, thus suggesting new possibilities for managing stress reactivity during gestation.
