Abstract excerpt
Dominant behaviour and testosterone level were investigated after adrenoreceptor (AR) blocking drugs injections in PT and CBA/Lac mice predisposed, correspondingly, to dominant and subordinate behaviour in a population and their hybrids F1. Phentolamine (alpha-AR blocker, 1 mg/kg) or obsidan (beta-AR blocker, 1 mg/kg) injections resulted in a loss of the dominant rank of CBA/Lac mice and did not affect the PT...
