Estradiol and isotype-selective estrogen receptor agonists modulate the mesocortical dopaminergic system in gonadectomized female rats.
The mesocortical dopaminergic pathway projecting from the ventral tegmental area (VTA) to the prefrontal cortex (PFC) contributes to the processing of reward signals. This pathway is regulated by gonadal steroids including estradiol. To address the putative role of estradiol and isotype-selective estrogen receptor (ER) agonists in the regulation of the rodent mesocortical system, we combined fM...
متن کاملImpact of isotype-selective estrogen receptor agonists on ovarian function.
Other isotype-selective estrogen receptor (ER) agonists, the selective ERalpha agonist 3,17-dihydroxy-19-nor-17alpha-pregna-1,3,5 (10)-triene-21,16alpha-lactone and the selective ERbeta agonist 8-vinylestra-1,3,5 (10)-triene-3,17beta-diol, were used in hypophysectomized rats, gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist-treated mice, as well as intact rats to elucidate the effects of isotype-selec...
متن کاملEffects of selective estrogen receptor agonists on estrogen receptor expression in the uterus of ovariectomized rats
The aim of the present study was to investigate effects of short time treatment with estrogen receptor (ER) selective agonists on ERα, ERβ and G-protein coupled estrogen receptor-1 (GPER) expression in the uterus of ovariectomized rats. The rats were treated with either estradiol (E2), the specific ERα agonist PPT or the specific ERβ agonist DPN for 18 hrs. Uterine weights were higher after E2 ...
متن کاملGlucocorticoids modulate behavioral effects induced by dopaminergic agonists in rats.
Studies showing the presence of glucocorticoids, and their binding sites in the central nervous system indicate that these hormones may affect central neurotransmission. Both, dopaminergic brain system and glucocorticoids are considered to be involved in certain psychopathological conditions in humans, including depression, addiction or schizophrenia. The present study aimed to investigate the ...
متن کاملModulation of responses to stress by estradiol benzoate and selective estrogen receptor agonists.
Previously, pretreatment with estradiol benzoate (EB) was found to modulate the response of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and gene expression in several catecholaminergic neuronal locations in ovariectomized (OVX) rats exposed to single immobilization stress (IMO). Here, we investigated the role of estrogen receptor (ER) subtypes, using selective agonists for ERalpha (propyl pyrazol...
