Regulation of GABA transporter activity and mRNA expression by estrogen in rat preoptic area.

This study has examined whether estrogen regulates GABA transporter synthesis and activity in the female rat brain. In the first experiment in situ hybridization studies examined the effects of ovariectomy on cellular GABA transporter-1 (GAT-1) mRNA content. A 25% decrease in GAT-1 mRNA expression was detected within the medial preoptic area (MPOA) but not the parietal cortex, magnocellular pre...

Rat Uterine Oxytocin Receptor and Estrogen Receptor α and β mRNA Levels are Regulated by Estrogen Through Multiple Estrogen Receptors

Estrogen action is mediated through several types of receptors (ERs), such as ERα, ERβ and putative membrane ERs. Oxytocin receptor (OTR) and ER expression levels in the rat uterus are regulated by estrogen; however, which types of ERs are involved has not been elucidated. This study examined OTR, ERα and ERβ levels in ovariectomized rats treated with 17β-estradiol (E2), an ERα agonist (PPT), a...

Sexually dimorphic estrogen receptor alpha mRNA expression in the preoptic area and ventromedial hypothalamus of green anole lizards.

Estradiol (E2) is important in activation of male reproductive behaviors, and masculinizes morphology of associated brain regions in a number of mammalian and avian species. In contrast, it is testosterone, rather than its metabolites, that is the most potent activator of male sexual behavior in green anole lizards. As in other vertebrate groups, however, E2 is critical for receptivity in femal...

Oxytocin in the medial preoptic area facilitates male sexual behavior in the rat.

Oxytocin (OT) is a versatile neuropeptide that is involved in a variety of mammalian behaviors, and its role in reproductive function and behavior has been well established. The majority of pharmacological studies of the effects of OT on male sexual behavior have focused on the paraventricular nucleus (PVN), ventral tegmental area (VTA), hippocampus, and amygdala. Less attention has been given ...
