摘要：

Earlier experiments in this laboratory showed that the injection of adrenocorticotrophic and melanocyte-stimulating peptides into cerebrospinal fluid or brain causes a behavioural change in dogs, cats, monkeys and various laboratory animals characterized by repeated stretching and yawning1-5. Preliminary experiments indicate that these substances also cause sexual excitation in dogs, monkeys, rabbits6 and cats7. The work described here was undertaken to study the mechanism of the sexual stimulation produced by ACTH-like polypeptides and the possible role of testosterone in this effect. © 1969 Nature Publishing Group.
