First, dose–response curve (0, 1, 2, 4 mg/kg; s.c.) motivation performance conducted sexually naive experienced rats. Next, (1 mg/kg; inhibition tested using sex aversion conditioning paradigm, which visceral illness induced by lithium chloride (LiCl) paired administration inhibited dose-dependent matter as evidenced decreased percentages males that mated latencies initiate when injected 2 or 4 mg/kg Meth. an acute dose prior following resulted disrupted conditioned These data suggest rats impairs performance. In addition, low doses do not disrupt function may result seeking
