  1. 01AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In adult mice injected as neonates with Semax, the open-field behavior changed compared with intact mice, as it did after saline injections.

    In plain wordsIn mice, neonatal Semax injections changed behavior in adulthood compared with untreated mice, as saline injections also did.

    Summary
    The common feature of remote effects of both Semax and saline injections was the set of changes in the open-field behavior in adult (2.5- to 3-month-old) animals as compared to intact mice.

    Summary · context
    DBA/2, CBA mice, and their F1 hybrids (first series) and 101/HY and C3H mice (second series) were injected as neonates (2-7 days of life) with Semax (sc., 7 microg per animal).
  2. 02AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    After neonatal Semax or saline injections, freezing, grooming and rearing scores shifted in a genotype-dependent way in DBA/2 and C3H mice, and hole-poke frequencies in CBA and C3H mice.

    In plain wordsIn mice, behavior changes after early Semax or saline injections depended on the mouse genotype.

    Summary
    The most conspicuous shifts (genotype-dependent increase or decline) in freezing, grooming and rearing scores were displayed by DBA/2 and C3H mice, whereas the hole-poke frequencies were significantly changed in CBA and C3H mice.

  3. 03AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In DBA/2 mice, squares crossed in the center and rearing number in the Semax-injected group stayed approximately equal to intact mice, whereas both increased in the saline group.

    In plain wordsIn mice, Semax-injected animals stayed at the level of untreated mice, while saline-injected animals showed more activity.

  5. 05AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In mice of other genotypes, the same open-field indices changed after neonatal injections, but the direction of change differed.
