Endothelin-C-terminal hexapeptide increases grooming in mice.
Grooming behavior has been considered a response to stress, and a number of stress-related peptides have been demonstrated to modulate grooming behavior. In the experiments reported here, endothelin-C-terminal hexapeptide containing amino acid residues 16-21, ET[16-21], increased grooming with a maximum effect at 0.75 microgram. ET[16-21] did not significantly alter eating or locomotor behavior. Both alpha-helical CRF (10 micrograms) and neuropeptide Y (1 microgram) inhibited the grooming produced by ET[16-21].
