Progesterone reverses the estradiol-induced decrease in tyrosine hydroxylase mRNA levels in the arcuate nucleus.

abstract：:The present study examined the effect of estradiol on hypothalamic serotonin-1A (5-HT(1A)) receptor signaling in female rats. We first examined the time-course effects of a single injection of the 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist (+/-)8-OH-DPAT (5, 15 or 30 min prior to decapitation), and dose response of (+)8-OH-DPAT (50, 1...
