In the Ventral Tegmental Area, Progestins’ Membrane-Mediated Actions for Lordosis of Hamsters and Rats Involve Protein Kinase A

·doi:10.1159/000100510

Progestin-facilitated lordosis of hamsters and rats is enhanced by activation of dopamine type 1 (D1) or GABAA/benzodiazepine receptor complexes (GBRs) in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and these effects involve G-proteins and second mess…

Fluoxetine May Influence Lordosis of Rats through Effects on Midbrain 3α,5α‐THP Concentrations

·doi:10.1196/annals.1286.004

5alpha-pregnan-3alpha-ol-20-one (3alpha,5alpha-THP) in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) mediates lordosis of rodents. If fluoxetine's effects on lordosis are mediated in part by midbrain 3alpha,5alpha-THP, then fluoxetine regimens that decr…
