Abstract A genetic analysis of amphetamine-induced hyperthermia was conducted in inbred mice of the strains Balb/c and C3H and in their F1F2 and backcross generations. The results of biometric analysis indicate that the effect of amphetamine on body temperature is genetically determined. The mode of inheritance characterized by a partial dominance (Balb/C over C3H strain). However, a possible matermal effect of C3H can overcome the dominant effect in male progenies and inhibit amphetamine hyperthermic effect.
