8-OH-DPAT administration inhibited lordosis behavior in ovariectomized rats, supporting a role for central 5-HT in inhibiting this behavior.

Abstract

The administration of 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), inhibited the lordosis induced by estradiol benzoate or estradiol benzoate plus progesterone in ovariectomized rats. There was no facilitation of lordosis by 8-OH-DPAT in animals pretreated with a threshold dose of estradiol benzoate. The results are consistent with the view that 8-OH-DPAT is an agonist at 5-HT receptors and provide further support for an inhibition role of central 5-HT in the mediation of lordosis behavior.
