โฆ Synopsis
The effects of nitrofurantoin [N-(5-nitro-2-furfurylidine)-1-amino-hydantoin] on chromosomes of primary and secondary spermatocytes of mice were studied. No mutagenic activity was detectable after application of either 8 mg/kg or 40 mg/kg nitrofurantoin. An increase in the univalent rates and a decrease in the chiasma frequencies was observed in treated animals. The probable origins of these effects are discussed.

In a series of three experiments, we evaluated the degree to which the effects of acutely administered ethanol on aggressive behavior of male CFW mice toward a male intruder interact with, and depend on, androgen levels. In the first experiment, mice were tested at 15 min after 0, 0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 1.7
