英文摘要
Self-injurious behavior (SIB) presents a serious problem in
laboratory macaques that cannot be socially housed for scientific
reasons. It is also a serious problem among significant numbers of
institutionalized children and adults where it is often associated
with different forms of brain dysfunction. In macaques, SIB is
associated with conditions of social deprivation during early
development. We have experienced limited success in reducing SIB in
macaques by enhancing their environment with enrichment devices.
Psychotropic drugs also help, but problems are associated with their
use. Because sexual and aggressive behavioral problems in men have
been treated with drugs containing progestin and androgenic profiles,
we tested the efficacy of cyproterone acetate (CA) on reducing SIB in
eight singly-housed, adult male rhesus macaques. The main findings
were 1) the frequency of occurrence of SIB, and some other atypical
behaviors, was significantly reduced after several weeks of CA
treatment; 2) blood levels of testosterone were also significantly
reduced, but 3) frequency of masturbation and sperm counts did not
drop with the treatment (5-10 mg/kg/wk CA). We concluded that CA is a
partially effective, long-term treatment (3 months) for adult male
macaques whose behavior problems include SIB. However, in addition to
CA, other interventions are needed to eliminate SIB. The findings
suggest that SIB is modulated by progestins or androgens. The ability
of CA to reduce SIB, but not the frequency of masturbation or sperm
counts, has led to the hypothesis that its androgen-like action is
sufficient to maintain sexual behavior, but its progestin-like action
may decrease aggressive behavior. This may also indicate a separation
of the neurophysiological mechanisms that control sexual and
aggressive behavior. We conclude that CA would be useful in treatment
of SIB, especially when it is desired to maintain reproductive
capabilities in the subjects.
