Abstract

Albino rats experiencing daily interruptions from the mother during the 1st 10 days of life were more resistant to ulcer formation in a conflict situation than rats experiencing such interruptions during the second 10 days. The latter group did not differ from controls. Periodic isolation from cagemates after weaning or at maturity did not affect the incidence of ulcers. The number of ulcers per animals varied with the amount of time in the conflict situation. From Psyc Abstracts 36:02:2EP55A. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
