Abstract
The anxiety level was studied in offsprings of dams stressed during pr egnancy. Increased number of resorptions and stillbirths was mentioned . The experimental pups (1 months old) had lower locomotion and higher anxiety levels as compared to the control animals. There were no diff erences in anxiety and locomotion levels in males (4 months old) betwe en the experimental and control groups. In experimental females of thi s age anxiety was decreased and locomotion increased. Aggressive behav ior was more expressed in the experimental animals of both sexes.
