Resumos
Trabalhando com ratos albinos e recém desmamados, os autores observaram as alterações do comportamento exploratório em duas fases carenciais (desnutrição protéico-calórica e carência protéica total) e numa subseqüente fase de recuperação. Concluem haver alterações do comportamento exploratório que parecem relacionar-se ao tipo de dieta recebida pelo animal.
The authors investigated exploratory behavior patterns of white rats under normal and experimental dietary conditions. Two (2) experimental groups were studied; one received a low level protein diet ad libitum, the other a high protein diet with restricted portions during 47 days. After this period the rats received a fiftheen days free protein diet, and recovered, afterwards, with meat or casein diet. Rats showed abnormalities of exploratory behavior in all experimental periods and the authors concluded that it could be related to dietary treatment.
