Background. Stress is one of the main causes of the development of most diseases. The role of proteolysis in the pathogenesis of post-stress reactions is not sufficiently elucidated. Aim. To investigate the effect of “mild” stress on the state of proteolysis in the oral mucosa (OM). Methods. Rats were subjected to “mild” stress by holding them at −20 °C for 5 minutes. In the OM, in blood serum, liver, kidneys and pancreas, proteolysis activity was determined by the rate of hydrolysis of two subs
