Abstract
Lordosis in response to male mounting in estrogen-progesterone primed ovariectomized rats was facilitated by beta-endorphin or metenkephalin but inhibited by leu-enkephalin if the peptides were injected into third ventricle at the time of estrogen-priming. It is suggested that opioidergic systems modulate the activation of the estrogen-dependent brain functions that control lordosis.Entities:
