[The role of ACTH(5-8) and beta-MSH(5-8) fragments in the organization of the self-stimulation reaction].
The experiments on rats have shown that intraperitoneal administration of ACTH5-8 fragments in a dose of 40 ng per kg altered considerably the character of self-stimulation reaction and the behaviour of rats. Searching activity and self-stimulation reaction were intensified, with the latter characterized by the onset of aversive components, that disappeared 24 hours later. Activation depended on the site of stimulation. Two phases of activity were noted (the first 0.5-1 h and the second 4.5-6 h after ACTH5-8 injection). beta-MSH5-8 fragment, when injected intraperitoneally in a dose of 20 ng per kg, had no effect on self-stimulation reaction and the behaviour of animals.
