| Abstract: | The content of biogenic amines: dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonine, in rats of cataleptic strain GC as compared with the control strain Wistar at the age of 1 and 5 months is decreased, the maximal decrease being found in the so-called "nervous" animals. The aldosterone content was decreased at 5 month age in the GC rats. The testosterone content at the age of 1 month in GC rats does not differ from that in Wistar rats, but at the age of 5 months it was decreased as compared to Wistar, the maximal decrease being found again in "nervous" GC rats. The data obtained point to peculiarities of ontogenetic regulation and to commonness of mechanisms of catalepsy and "nervousness" in GC rats. |
