SELECTION FOR CATATONIA: EFFECT ON THE SEXUAL FUNCTION AND ESTROUS CYCLE SYNCHRONIZATION by D. V. Klochkov, T. A. Alekhina

“…Body, ovary, and uterus weights; estrous cycle; dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the hypothalamus; and testosterone levels in blood plasma have been recorded in 2–3-month old GC female rats selected for elevated catatonia response and compared with the outbred Wistar stock. The body weights of GC rats are lower, and the cyclic linkage between the ovaries and the uterus is disrupted, as apparent from a reduced diestrus ovary weight and a lower estrogen-dependent uterus weight increase in comparison to Wistar. …”
