The effect of intraventricular application of ACTH1-24 on exploratory behavior, excessive grooming, and socio-sexual behavior in male rats was studied. It appeared that ACTH1-24 (1 microgram/animal) affects both excessive grooming and exploration. Sexual performance was delayed, as expressed in latency time to ejaculation, probably because of prolonged grooming behavior. The behavioral effects of ACTH are explained in terms of enhanced attention to external stimuli.
研究了脑室内注射促肾上腺皮质激素1-24(ACTH1-24)对雄性大鼠探索行为、过度梳理行为和社会性行为的影响。结果显示,ACTH1-24(1微克/只动物)对过度梳理行为和探索行为均有影响。性行为表现出现延迟,以射精潜伏期来表示,这可能是由于梳理行为持续时间延长所致。促肾上腺皮质激素的行为学效应可通过对外部刺激注意力增强来解释。
