The timing mechanism underlying ultradian (2-3 h) activity patterns in the common vole, Microtus arvalis, was studied using behavioral deprivation experiments. These were aimed at distinguishing between a homeostatic control mechanism, in which the rhythmic behaviour itself is part of the causal loo
Steroid sulfatase (STS; EC 3.1.6.2) levels were assayed in cultured fibroblasts of root voles captured in the wild. Four independent experiments were performed using two different substrates (DHEAS and E1S). Evidence is presented that in this species, STS levels are significantly higher in males tha
