Effects of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS, 30 mg/kg, i.p., 4 and 28 hours after an injection) on CBA/Lac male mice with increased level of anxiety resulting from chronic (20-day) social confrontations were studied in two behavioral tests. The anxiolytic effect of DHEAS was observed both 4 and 28 hours after an injection in the partition test of social interactions and in the plus-maze test.
