Nociceptive and anxiety-like behavior in reproductively competent and reproductively senescent middle-aged rats

Gender medicine ·doi:10.1016/j.genm.2009.03.002

BACKGROUND: Changes in levels of estradiol and progesterone that occur with the transition to reproductive senescence may influence nociception or affect. OBJECTIVE: To ascertain whether nociceptive and affective processes change with repr…

In the ventral tegmental area, progestins' membrane-mediated actions for lordosis of hamsters and rats involve protein kinase A

Neuroendocrinology ·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…

Progestins' actions in the VTA to facilitate lordosis involve dopamine-like type 1 and 2 receptors

Pharmacology, biochemistry, and behavior ·doi:10.1016/j.pbb.2004.04.014

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…
