Abstract
Adult ovariectomized mice were isolated for either 0, 2, 4, or 8 weeks, after which they received testosterone-containing Silastic implants and were tested on alternate days for intraspecific fighting. Females isolated for 8 weeks fought significantly sooner following the commencement of hormone treatment. Isolation failed to influence the proportion of animals which fought across groups. Isolation therefore potentiates the aggression-activating property of testosterone.
