In 1985, Mendelson and Gorzalka proposed the dual role hypothesis of serotonergic modulation of lordosis behaviour. In this hypothesis it was proposed that serotonergic activity can either inhibit or facilitate lordosis behaviour. Specifica…

Peripheral administrations of TFMPP (0.2- 1 mg/kg) or MCPP (1 mg/kg) facilitated lordosis behavior in female rats treated with estradiol benzoate, and had no effects in females primed with estradiol benzoate and progesterone. In contrast, T…

Existing reports on the effects of beta-adrenergic antagonists on lordosis behavior appear contradictory, with (+/-) propranolol being reported to inhibit, and (+/-) pindolol to facilitate this behavior. In the present study, both the (-) a…

Intraventricular administration of the tryptophan metabolites l-kynurenine (2-32 micrograms) and kynuramine (0.064-8 micrograms) facilitated lordosis behavior in estrogen-primed ovariectomized rats. The facilitatory effects of these drugs w…

Ipsapirone and gepirone, but not buspirone, facilitated lordosis in estrogen-treated rats, whereas all three drugs inhibited this behavior in rats treated with estrogen and progesterone. When administered at higher doses, ipsapirone, gepiro…

The theory that activation of serotonin type 2 (5-HT2) receptors facilitates lordosis behavior in the female rat was tested. The 5-HT2 antagonists pizotefin, cyproheptadine, metitepine, and ketanserin were found to inhibit lordosis behavior…
