Abstract:
The effect of estradiol and progesterone on scent-marking behavior of the female rat is reported. Estradiol followed by progesterone injection to ovariectomised rats results in an increase in marking rates. This suggests an endocrine base to the changes in scent-marking behavior that are known to occur with the rat estrous cycle.
