Three days later the animals were placed in cages in which they could press a lever to obtain their entire daily ration of food. The time of day at which responses occurred and the time between successive responses were recorded over a six day period to determine the circadian pattern of lever-pressing and the distribution of inter-response times (IRTs). The saline injected rats exhibited a normal nocturnal pattern of feeding, while both DFP treated groups exhibited a significantly greater tendency to eat during the day. Analysis of the IRT distributions of the three groups showed a different pattern of results. The saline and 1.0 mg/kg DFP groups produced nearly identical IRT distributions, while the 2.6 mg/kg group produced an IRT distribution which was marked by significant increases in the interquartile range and median IRT. Since the 1.0 mg/kg dose of DFP produced a circadian disruption but did not affect the IRT distribution, it appears that the disruption of circadian activity by DFP which was reported by Raslear and Kaufman cannot be solely explained by simple changes in the motor response.</p>","PeriodicalId":19112,"journal":{"name":"Neurobehavioral toxicology and teratology","volume":"8 6","pages":"655-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14926412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The maintenance of shock avoidance and time estimation was examined immediately after, and at the 3rd and 6th hr after the 4 hr toluene exposure. No avoidance response occurred immediately after 8,000 ppm toluene exposure, but it was recovered by the 3rd hr after exposure. Both 4,000 and 2,000 ppm toluene exposures increased the percentage of avoidance response. The response latencies (RLs) were significantly shortened after toluene exposure and the relative frequency distribution of RLs was shifted toward a shorter RL. The shortening of RLs could be attributed not only to the excitatory effect of toluene but also to the acceleration of response initiation.

In the third study, doses of 2, 4 or 6 mg/kg were given on days 14-16. Five mg/kg given on days 11-13 resulted in significant postnatal mortality, while the viability at all other doses and periods was not affected.
