title: Pineal indols and testosterone affect exploratory activity of male rats.
abstract: The testosterone level has an inverse relation to activity in the open-field test. This is more important in red light than in white light. Pineal indols do not disturb this action. Some of these results are consistent with the assumption that androgens play a role on the exploratory activity of adult subjects.
