Female and male brains differ. Differences begin early during development due to a
combination of genetic and hormonal events and continue throughout the lifespan of an …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews a subset of the field of hormonal regulation of
feminine sexual behavior in rodents with the emphasis on rats. It focuses on the roles of …

Estrogen and progesterone modulate gene expression in rodents by activation of
intracellular receptors in the hypothalamus, which regulate neuronal networks that control …

The ventromedial nuclei of the hypothalamus (VMN) are important for the control of feminine
mating behavior, and hormone action within these nuclei has been causally related to …

Aims: To investigate the effect of acute in vivo administration of ethanol on acetylation or
methylation of histone H3 at lysine9 in different tissues in rat. Methods: Ethanol was injected …

To test further the idea that sexual behavior in rodents is mediated via the progesterone
receptor (PR) in the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus, antisense and sense …

In this chapter, we shall discuss one aspect of the cellular mechanism of action of steroid
hormones on social behaviors, the role of steroid hormone receptors. Unfortunately, the …

Steroid hormone, progesterone, modulates neuroendocrine functions in the central nervous
system resulting in alterations in physiology and behavior. These neuronal effects are …

Although several studies have reported the localization of membrane progesterone (P4)
receptors (mPR) in various tissues, few have attempted to describe the distribution and …

The steroid hormone, progesterone (P), modulates neuroendocrine functions in the central
nervous system resulting in alterations in physiology and reproductive behavior in female …
