Alteration of Estrogen-Induced Lordosis through Central Administration of Corticosterone in Adrenalectomized-Ovariectomized Rats
Abstract
Corticosterone was administered through various modes into several brain regions of estrogen-treated adrenalectomized-ovariectomized female rats. Daily administration of 20 micrograms corticosterone dissolved in propylene glycol through intracerebral cannulae effectively inhibited female sexual receptivity at each of four sites: third ventricle, ventro-medial hypothalamus, preoptic area, and septum. Similar administration of lesser daily doses …
