Oxytocin stimulates lordosis behavior in female rats.

abstract：:PTHrP and its receptor PTHR1 are found in the CNS and peripheral nervous system. The presence of PTHrP mRNA has been detected in the superior cervical ganglion (SCG), but there are no data on the cellular distribution of PTHrP and PTHR1 in the SCG. Although it is known that ovarian activity and reproductive status inf...
