Effect of bicuculline on sexual activity in castrated male rats.

A Fernandez-Guasti, K Larsson, C Beyer.   

Abstract

The GABA antagonist (+) bicuculline methiodide (30 ng/cannula) was injected in the medial preoptic-anterior hypothalamic area of castrated rats treated with subthreshold dosages of testosterone propionate (150 micrograms/kg/day). The treatment resulted in a facilitation of sexual activity suggesting a role of GABA as a neurotransmitter in neural processes determining sexual arousal.
