Zusammenfassung:Vaginal smear cyclicity was used as a physiological test to compare the response of rats to the new 'silent' fire alarm developed by the Laboratory Animals Centre with a conventional fire bell. The fire bell had a highly significant effect on the vaginal smear cyclicity whereas the rats exposed to the 'silent' fire alarm showed no significant changes from the control animals in quiet conditions.
