Abstract
Two experiments investigating the effects of chronic vs. acute insulin-induced hypoglycemia on attack and biting behavior elicited by tailshock are reported. Chronic-injection subjects had blood-sugar level experimentally reduced by insulin for 29 days, including the day of shock testing. Acute-injection subjects received an insulin injection only on the day of testing. High levels of attack and biting behavior were shown in the single-animal shock-elicited aggression situation by the chronic subjects in both experiments. High response levels were shown by the acute-injection subjects only in Experiment 2. The lack of such responding in Experiment 1 was attributed to the different injection procedures used in the two experiments. The data are supportive of the proposed negative relationship between hypoglycemia and aggressive responding.
