Abstract

The effects of intraventricular injection of eledoisin and physalaemin in the rat were studied. Both peptides reduced explorative behaviour; eledoisin, but not physalaemin, produced catatonia, reduction of muscular strength, tremor and sialorrhea. The electrocorticogram showed the signs of a depressive effect both after physalaemin and eledoisin administration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
