Effect of steroids on vasoactive intestinal peptide in discrete brain regions and peripheral tissues.

abstract：:Central or systemic administration of morphine disrupts maternal behavior in steroid-primed, pup-induced virgin and lactating rats. Morphine, the prototypical mu agonist, also interacts with different opioid receptor subtypes. The present study examined the effectiveness of five receptor-selective agonists, in additio...

abstract：:Prolactin (PRL) secretion in the female rat is regulated by an endogenous stimulatory rhythm (ESR), which is normally under the tonic inhibition of dopamine (DA). The ESR consists of a nocturnal (N) component which peaks at approximately 03.00 h, and a diurnal (D) component which peaks at approximately 17.00 h. This E...
