摘要:
The period length of the running wheel activity rhythm of cockroaches(Leucophaea maderae),which is lengthened by Li+, was found to be shortened by 0.7% by administering 50 mM RbCl in the drinking water. Replacing the Rb+solution by H2O for four weeks did not bring the period length back to the control value. This is probably due to the long biological half life of Rb+in the cells. The phenomenon is another instance in which the effect of Rb+is opposite to that of Li+.
