Abstract
During each of the last 5 days of pregnancy, Long-Evans and Wister rats received 45 min of whole-body restraint and intense illumination. When they were 87 days old, they were placed on complete food deprivation until Day 90. At this time, all animals were tested with 1-day-old rat pups and adult mice (Mus musculus). The stress procedure suppressed the level of rat-pup killing induced by the food deprivation in the Long-Evans rats. The 3 days of food deprivation did not induce rat-pup killing in the other groups or mouse killing in any of the groups.
