Excessive grooming behavior has been well documented in various animals as a result of stress or intraventricularly administered ACTH and ACTH1-24. In the present study, handling, ACTH, and ACTH1-24 were associated with significant increases in preening of domestic chickens when compared to saline-treated controls. Naloxone-treated birds showed preening levels similar to those of unhandled and saline-treated birds.
由于应激或脑室内注射促肾上腺皮质激素（ACTH）及促肾上腺皮质激素1-24（ACTH1-24），过度梳理行为在各种动物中已有充分记录。在本研究中，与生理盐水处理的对照组相比，处理、ACTH和ACTH1-24与家鸡理毛行为的显著增加有关。纳洛酮处理的鸡表现出与未处理及生理盐水处理的鸡相似的理毛水平。
