Influence of new ACTH fragments on self-stimulation, avoidance, and grooming behavior in rabbits.

The effects of new cyclic analogs of ACTH fragments, EHFRWGKPVG-NH2 and KHFRWG-NH2, which have specific and nonspecific active centers in their structure, in the self-stimulation, avoidance, and grooming behavior of rabbits were investigated in this study. The intraventricular administration of EHFRWGKPVG-NH2 in doses of 0.1-2.

[The effect of new ACTH fragments on the behaviors of self-stimulation, avoidance and grooming in rabbits].

We studied the influence of new cyclic analogues of ACTH fragments EHFRWGKPVG-NH2 and KHFRVG-NH2 on self-stimulation (SS) and active avoidance (AA) behaviour. Intraventricular injection of EHFRWGKPVG-NH2 in low doses (0.5-2.
