Effect of anabolic steroids on behavior and physiological characteristics of female mice.

Abstract:

:Adult female mice were exposed to a combination of four anabolic-androgenic steroids for 9 weeks at doses that were either one or five times the androgenic maintenance level for male mice. Relative to control females, steroid treatment depressed gonadotropin secretion and increased both dry body weight and fat content but without an increase in food intake. Steroid treatment depressed spontaneous use of a running wheel and open-field activity, and it increased aggressiveness. It also eliminated a behavior related to encounters between the sexes--the rejection of genital inspection. There was no effect of steroid treatment on the time required to recover from 10 h of enforced running on a treadmill. Overall, regardless of the test or measure, there was little or no difference in the effect of the high and low dose of steroids. This indicates a threshold of response below the low dose used in these studies, which itself is probably well below that used by many female athletes and body builders.

  • Dietary restraint and menstrual cycle phase modulated L-phenylalanine-induced satiety.

    abstract::l-phenylalanine (Phe) has been shown to elicit release of the gut hormone cholecystokinin (CCK) and reduce energy intake. Furthermore, studies in some animal models demonstrate potentiation of CCK-induced satiety by estradiol (E(2)). As E(2) is elevated in the follicular phase, we expected greater satiety effects than...
