[Neuroactive complexed zinc compounds from bovine brain].

The fraction obtained from acidic extract of bovine brain homogenate after several steps of chromatographic purification provokes spontaneous aggressive encounters in rats upon intracerebroventricular injection. The simultaneous long-term raising of electric shock-induced aggression with the suppressing of muricidal and intraspecies aggressive behaviour has been observed. Intravenous and intraperitoneal injections of this fraction induce no behavioural changes in rats. It has been determined that the fraction consists of complex compounds of zinc with various aliphatic amines. A similar or higher behavioural activity has been discovered in series of synthetic complexes of zinc with different ligands, that are suggested for use in modelling any nervous and psychiatric disorders connected with an increased aggression level.

[Inherent behavioral activity of rats administered different fractions of brain-specific S-100 proteins].

The intraventricular injection of brain specific S-100 proteins leads to the prolonged heterochronous changes of the inherent rat behaviour forms during the period of water and food needs restitution. The effects of various doses of S-100 proteins fractions on the behavioural activity differs in the degree of expression and in time of their onset. The specific influence of some S-100 proteins fractions on duration of the different inherent forms of rat behaviour can be explained by plurality of molecular mechanisms of their effects.

[c-fos Gene expression in the brain of rats with various exploratory and defensive behavior].

Groups of active and passive Wistar rats were revealed in the "open field" and "hole exploration" tests. The pronounced c-fos gene expression was found in different brain structures of rats preliminary subjected to electrodermal stimulation in the "step down" test. Marked differences in c-fos gene expression were observed in brain structures of rats with the active and passive behavior in the "open field", "hole exploration", and "step down" tests. The most pronounced and intensive c-fos gene expression was noticed in the passive rats.

[Predatory aggressiveness of the rat after intraventricular administration of individual brain-specific proteins of the S-100 group and their peptide fragments].

Intraventricular injections to rats of the basic fraction of the brain specific protein S-100 in a concentration of 3 mg/ml, significantly facilitates the formation of their predatory aggression induced by the alimentary deprivation and social isolation, expressed in mice killing. This effect is not produced by fragments of S-100 molecules obtained as a result of treatment of the basic protein fraction by proteolytic enzymes. Administration of the minor S-100 fraction, albumin and rats summate brain proteins did not influence animals predatory aggression.

[Is pain-induced aggression actually a defensive form of that behavior?].

25-minute testing of aggressive reactions in constant pairs of male rats, elicited by electric shocks shows that electro-pain aggression of rats is not a homogeneous process, but consists of three successive stages: orienting-investigatory activity and attempts to get out of the chamber; defensive aggression; establishing of relations of domination-subordination and attacking aggression. Division in attacking rats and defending themselves, occurs mainly at final stages of testing (15-25 min); in some pairs reactions of attacking aggression are accomplished by the same rats. It is supposed that rats pain aggression is not a purely defensive form of this behaviour, but a modification of intermale aggression caused by specificity of laboratory conditions.
