Under systemic administration tuftsin produces a marked influence on behavior and emotional reactivity in rats: enhances motor (vertical) activity, perception of pain stimulation and related aggressiveness and residual excitation. Activating effect is accompanied by an aggravation of the acquisition of passive avoidance reaction during single reinforcement. In vitro experiments revealed a direct inhibitory effect of tuftsin on the reaction rate of brain tyrosine hydroxylase activity. In vivo there was shown an increase in hypothalamic and especially striatal tyrosine hydroxylase activity. The data obtained indicate direct relationships between tuftsin central effects and the changes in brain catecholaminergic processes participating in the regulation of emotional-motivational and motor reactions.
