Effects of acute central and peripheral ACTH1–24 administration on lordosis behavior
Abstract
The role of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in the control of the lordosis reflex of female rats was investigated. Experiment 1 examined the effects of ACTH1–24 infused into the ventricular system of the brain. ACTH treatment lowered the performance of both ovariectomized (ovx) and adrenalectomized-ovariectomized (adx-ovx) extrogen-primed females.
