ABSTRACT
Hoarding pattern studied in 28 adult female albino rats indicated cyclic changes in hoarding corresponding to alterations in estrus cycle. It was observed that the hoarding score was maximum at proestrus and the least at diestrus. Animals ovariectomised at proestrus maintained higher hoarding score and those ovariectomised at diestrus stablised on lower hoarding score. Progesterone administration reduced the score in high-score group and Oestrogen administration improved the score in low score group. Alterations in ovarian hormone levels were thus observed to influence hoarding pattern in rats.
