The authors treated white rats daily at one and the same time for a period of one hour with vibrations. One of the groups of animals were treated with vibrations and examined after that, but the other two groups were treated respectively for 45 and 90 days. Examination was carried out during vibration, immediately after that and three hours after the vibrations. They used the method of the turned bags of Wilson and Waisman, by means of which they checked the resorption of glucose through the intestinal wall in vitro, it was established that during continuous vibration action the values of the resorption glucose were statistically lower than those of the control group. There were statistically significant differences in the values of the resorbed glucose in the subgroups examined during the vibration immediately and there hours after that. The authors discuss the obtained results in the light of the current concepts for the action of vibrations as a stress factor and their influence on intestinal resorption.
