摘要: Abstract Oxytocin, either intraperitoneally injected (200 ng/rat) or intracerebroventricularly infused (1 ng/rat in 4 μl saline) 60 and 15 min respectively before testing, significantly increased the lordosis response to mounting male of ovariectomized, estrogen/progesterone treated rats. The intracerebroventricular infusion oxytocin 0.1 had no effect; nor did saline. These results indicate that increases female receptivity, site action probably being central nervous system.
