[Characteristics of behavior and protein metabolism in the brain of second-generation animals whose mothers received ethanol during pregnancy].

Conditioned reflexes, behavior and cerebral protein metabolism were studied in the offspring of rats subjected to prenatal exposure to ethanol. The open field behavior features are described as well as impaired retaining of conditioned reflexes of passive and active avoidance with an increased sensitivity to acoustic stimulation. Total protein content and its fractions were changed as well as labeled amino acids incorporation into the proteins in different brain structures. Age-related course of these idices was noted.
