ROLE OF OVARIAN HORMONES IN HOARDING PATTERN

Hoarding pattern studi6d in 28 adult female albino rats indicated cyclic changes in hoarding corresponding to alterations in estrus cycle. It was observed that the hoarding score was maximl'm at proestrus ·and the least at diestrus. Animals ovariectomised at prOestrus maintained higher hoarding score and thOse ovariectGmised at diestrus stablised on lower hoarding score. Progesterone administration reduced the sco'e in high-score group and Oestrogen administration improved the score in low score group, Alterations in ovarian hOrmOne levels were thus observed to influence hoarding pattern in rats.
