Maternal aggressive behaviors are impaired in recently postpartum AC3^−/− mice. Maternal aggressive behaviors were assayed by introducing an unfamiliar male into the home cage of each female mouse during a 10-min period. (a) There were significant differences between postpartum AC3^+/+ (n=11) and postpartum AC3^−/− (n=9) dams in number of attacks (p<0.001), (b) duration of aggression (p<0.001) and (c) the percentage of dams that displayed aggressive behavior. Data are represented as means±SEM. ^**p<0.001.
