Behavioral effects of acute exposure to the insecticide fipronil
(Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 2011-03-01) [Artigo]
The effects of fipronil (Frontline (R) Top Spot) were investigated in 40 days old rats utilizing open field (OF), hole-board (HB) and elevated plus-maze (EPM) apparatus. Rats (N=15) received topical application of fipronil ...
Behavioural alterations provoked by prolonged calcitonin administration in rats
(Revista Brasileira de Toxicologia, 2003-07-01) [Artigo]
Present work investigated the effect of prolonged administration of salmon calcitonin, a hormone secreted by parafollicular cells from thyroid, on behavioural parameters of rats. Animals received calcitonin sc, 100 mUI/100 ...
Effects of elevated calcium on motor and exploratory activities of rats
(Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2002-04-01) [Artigo]
The effects of serum and brain calcium concentration on rat behavior were tested by maintaining animals on either distilled water (N = 60) or water containing 1% calcium gluconate (N = 60) for 3 days. Animals that were ...
