The blind mole rat (Spalax ehrenbergi) is a solitary and aggressive fossorial rodent that inhabits its own individual tunnel system. Mole rats breed mainly in the winter, giving birth to a litter of three to four young on average [Nevo (1961) Mammalia 25:127-143]. Intraspecific interactions between

## Opioid receptor agonists (e.g.,488) increase the locomotor activity of preweanling rats, while the same drugs depress the locomotor activity of adults. Curiously, direct stimulation of dopamine (DA) D 2 -like receptors fully attenuates the U-50,488-induced locomotor activity of preweanling rats
Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is a polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbon widely distributed in the environment. In animal testing, HCB has been shown to be a reproductive toxin. Previous investigations of the effects of HCB on ovarian function have yielded equivocal results. Thus, the effects of chronic ad
The toxicity to rats of Saudi Francoeuria crispa used in traditional medicine for the treatment of various disorders was investigated. Francoeuria crispa leaves were fed to rats at 2% and 10% of the diet for 8 weeks. In rats on the 10% F. crispa diet, there was a decrease in average body weight gain
Female Wistar rats were exposed to 4 g m-3 unleaded petrol for 8 h a day, 5 days a week for 60 days. Urinary P,-microglobulin ( Pz-m), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and lysozyme were used as markers of tubular dysfunction. Urinary excretion of albumin and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were used
The antiulcer activity of the total extract and the fractions of Stryphnodendron adstringens was studied in rats and compared with that of cimetidine. Ulcers were induced in rats by means of three experimental models: acute stress, acidified-ethanol and indomethacin. The total extract and the fracti
