摘要

Progesterone initiates female sexual behavior of rodents (lordosis) through actions at intracellular progestin receptors in the ventromedial hypothalamus. Progesterone's metabolite, 5alpha-pregnan-3alpha-ol-20-one, mediates the intensity and duration of lordosis through its actions at GABA(A) receptors in the ventral tegmental area. Whether progestins can influence sexual behavior through actions that involve N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) in the ventromedial hypothalamus and ventral tegmental area was investigated. The current study examines the effect of bilateral ventral tegmental area or ventromedial hypothalamus infusions of the non-competitive NMDAR antagonist (+)-MK-801 hydrogen maleate (MK-801; 0, 20, or 200 ng) on lordosis, motor activity, and NMDA R1 subtype (NMDAR1) immunoreactivity in estradiol benzoate (10 microg)+progesterone (50 microg)- and estradiol benzoate+vehicle primed rats. Compared to vehicle infusions, infusions of MK-801 to the ventral tegmental area facilitated lordosis of estradiol benzoate (10 microg)+progesterone (50 microg)- and estradiol benzoate+vehicle primed rats. Infusions of MK-801 to the ventromedial hypothalamus inhibited lordosis of estradiol benzoate (10 microg)+progesterone (50 microg)- and estradiol benzoate+vehicle primed rats, compared to vehicle. There was no effect of MK-801 infusions to the ventral tegmental area or the ventromedial hypothalamus on motor behavior. Immunocytochemistry for NMDAR1 revealed MK-801 (200 ng) infusions to the ventral tegmental area or ventromedial hypothalamus of estradiol benzoate (10 microg)+progesterone (50 microg)- or estradiol benzoate+vehicle primed rats significantly reduced the number of darkly stained NMDAR1-immunoreactive cells, compared to vehicle infusions. These data suggest NMDARs may be important in the mediation of hormonal actions in both the ventral tegmental area and the ventromedial hypothalamus for sexual receptivity of rodents, but in different ways.
