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…

Fluoxetine may influence lordosis of rats through effects on midbrain 3 alpha,5 alpha-THP concentrations

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences ·doi:10.1196/annals.1286.004

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…
