Mating behavior and brain biogenic amine concentrations in chickens treated with parachlorophenylalanine (PCPA)

Mating behavior and brain biogenic amine concentrations in chickens treated with parachlorophenylalanine (PCPA)

Four experiments were conducted to determine the effect of parachlorophenylalanine (PCPA) on the male mating behavior of a line of chickens genetically selected for low mating frequency and to determine the effect on brain concentrations of 5-hydroxytryptamine, dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE)....

Zusammenfassung:Four experiments were conducted to determine the effect of parachlorophenylalanine (PCPA) on the male mating behavior of a line of chickens genetically selected for low mating frequency and to determine the effect on brain concentrations of 5-hydroxytryptamine, dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE). Mating behavior was not affected by moderate levels (
