In the ventral tegmental area (VTA), 5alpha-pregnan-3alpha-ol-20-one (3alpha,5alpha-THP) facilitates lordosis. Whether this involves dopamine type 1 (D1) or dopamine type 2 (D2) receptors is of interest. Ovariectomized (ovx) rats with guide…

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…
