Abstract：
:Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is produced in brain where it is often co-localized with oxytocin. Infusions of SHBG into the medial preoptic area-anterior hypothalamus facilitate female sexual receptivity. SHBG has receptors on plasma membranes of the prostate gland where binding of the 5alpha-reduced androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by SHBG acts as an antagonist on SHBG receptors. This study attempted to determine whether pre-coupling DHT to SHBG would inhibit SHBG-induced facilitation of female sexual receptivity. Ovariectomized rats were injected daily with 0.75 microg estradiol benzoate for 3 days. On the fourth day after a pre-infusion baseline behavioral test animals were infused with 1 microl per side through bilateral cannulae with SHBG (1.77x10(-6) M), SHBG coupled to DHT (SHBG-DHT; 1.66x10(-6) M DHT), with DHT alone or with artificial cerebrospinal fluid vehicle. As before, SHBG significantly increased female sexual receptivity when infused into the medial preoptic area-anterior hypothalamus. Rats infused with SHBG-DHT had significantly lower sexual receptivity. Therefore, whereas SHBG in the medial preoptic area facilitated female sexual behavior, SHBG coupled to DHT did not. DHT itself did not significantly affect sexual receptivity. Pre-coupling DHT to SHBG eliminated the facilitative effect of SHBG on female sexual receptivity just as DHT inhibits SHBG activity at prostate SHBG receptors suggesting that central receptors for SHBG are similar to those demonstrated in the periphery.
