title: [Neuromodulator mechanism of the inhibitory effect of deoxycorticosterone on the aggressive-defensive behavior of the rat].
abstract: DOCA (0.3 mg/kg i.p.) inhibited the shock-induced aggression in male rats. This behavioural reaction was also inhibited by activation of brain beta-adrenergic and nicotinic receptors. The inhibitory hormone effect was potentiated to a considerable extent (p less than 0.05-0.001) by central beta-adrenergic stimulation but was blocked by beta-antagonist administration. However, it was independent of facilitatory and inhibitory actions on the brain nicotinic receptors. It is concluded that the DOCA inhibitory effect on the shock-induced defensive fighting involved the facilitation of the brain beta-adrenergic receptor activation.
