Pre- and postnatal influence of an estrogen antagonist and an androgen antagonist on differentiation of the sexually dimorphic nucleus of the preoptic area in male and female rats.

Abstract:

:The volume of the sexually dimorphic nucleus in the preoptic area (SDN-POA) of the rat brain is severalfold larger in adult male rats than in adult females. This sex difference in brain structure was previously shown to develop under the influence of androgenic and estrogenic hormones during the perinatal period. We tried to clarify the differential role played by androgens and estrogens during development and differentiation of the SDN-POA by treating male and female rats during an extended pre- and postnatal period either with the estrogen antagonist tamoxifen or with the androgen antagonist cyproterone acetate. Treatment with tamoxifen did not alter serum levels of testosterone in male rats during the perinatal period, but it inhibited development and differentiation of the SDN-POA. Pre- and postnatal treatment of male rats with cyproterone acetate resulted in female phenotypic appearance, but it had no influence on differentiation of the SDN-POA. Perinatal treatment of female rats with tamoxifen resulted in permanent anovulatory sterility, but did not influence SDN-POA differentiation. Treatment of female rats with cyproterone acetate had no influence on SDN-POA differentiation or on the capacity to ovulate. Since pre- and postnatal treatment of male rats with cyproterone acetate is known from previous studies to femenize sexual behavior patterns and to retain the mode for cyclic gonadotropin release, and since the same treatment did not influence differentiation of the SDN-POA in the present study, it may be concluded that the SDN-POA is not directly involved in the control of female sexual behavior and in the control of the gonadotropic hormone release pattern.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
