An experimental method for testing the behavioral performance in primates (monkeys) has been devised and data resemble those states seen early in the clinical uremic syndrome. Previous work demonstrating alterations in behavioral performance in both reversible and irreversible uremic states were discussed. The behavioral deficits following experimental uremic states were not found to be invariants of urea nitrogen levels. Other causative compounds or agents are suspected. The findings from two monkeys following the injection of purified material from a uremic human resembled the alterations observed during continuous urine reinfusion. Two, and possibly four, of 10 samples from a uremic human affected the behavioral performance of two monkeys. The method merits further study.

Five groups of male rats were trained to a criterion of correct responses in a T-maze. Each group of animals was then subjected to one of five techniques for production of acute renal failure: nephrectomy, sham operation, methemoglobin-sodium ferrocyanide-injection leading to nonazotemia, methemoglobin-sodium ferrocyanide-injection resulting in azotemia, and saline injection. All animals were given trials in the maze spaced at 6-hr. intervals Response latencies and error scores suggested behavioral changes for the injected-azotemic animals and the nephrectomized animals. Qualitative as well as quantitative behavioral differences emerged as a function of the method utilized to produce acute renal failure.

Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green, 1908) is one of the invasive pests known to infest the agricultural crops of Vadodara, Gujarat. Large amount of pesticides are in use to control this pest which ultimately pose threat to both environment and mankind. So eco-friendly measures are required to limit the invasion of this pest. Hence the objective is to isolate the pheromone from Maconellicoccus hirsutus to uncover its different components through GC-MS along with the bioassay studies. Pheromone was isolated from the species through adsorbent method, and the volatiles were then subjected to GC-MS for fractionation. Crude extracts was further employed for behavioral bioassay to identify the nature of the pheromone. Combined result of GC and GC-MS indicated the presence of phenolic component in the extract. Additionally, observations from bioassay studies confirmed it as sex pheromone where attractive index of males towards volatiles was higher (0.88) than the females. Hence, identification of different pheromonal components will be helpful in synthesizing chemical analogues and their use in controlling the concerned pest in an eco-friendly way.
