Abstract:
:Many socially relevant odors are detected in rodent species by the vomeronasal organ and subsequently processed by the accessory olfactory system (AOS). We previously found that gonadectomized male and female rats treated in adulthood with testosterone propionate (TP) showed equivalent Fos responses in the AOS to odors derived from estrous females. Likewise, in contrast with numerous other mammalian species, gonadectomized female rats show surprisingly high levels of male-typical mounting behavior in response to adult TP. We tested the hypothesis that prenatal testosterone (T) exposure, acting via androgen receptors (ARs) or via estrogen receptors, masculinizes the AOS in rats of both sexes. Pregnant dams were treated with either the AR blocker, Flutamide, the aromatase inhibitor, 1,4,6-androstatriene-3,17-dione (ATD), or nothing (control) to assess the role of prenatal androgen and estradiol receptor activation, respectively, in this masculinization. Beginning at birth, male and female offspring were injected subcutaneously (sc) every other day with either ATD (pre- and neonatal ATD group) or oil vehicle (Flutamide and control groups) until postnatal Day 12. Subjects were gonadectomized as adults, hormonally treated and tested for different behaviors before having their AOS Fos responses to estrous female odors assessed. Prenatal treatment with Flutamide (but not ATD) significantly decreased anogenital distance and severely impaired intromissive and ejaculatory behaviors in males tested after TP replacement without disrupting mounting capacity in either sex. Pre- and neonatal treatment with ATD (but not Flutamide) enhanced lordosis responsiveness in males tested after sc injections of estradiol and progesterone, whereas these perinatal treatments had no effect on any aspect of masculine coital performance in either sex. After TP treatment, male and female control subjects preferred to approach a tethered stimulus female as opposed to a male, and prenatal Flutamide or perinatal ATD treatments did not modify this pattern of partner preference. Neuronal Fos responses to estrous odors were (as in previous studies) identical in the AOS of gonadectomized TP-treated control males and females. Prenatal Flutamide or perinatal ATD treatments failed to disrupt consistently this profile of Fos responses to estrous odors in the AOS of rats of either sex. These behavioral and neuroanatomical findings raise the possibility that the similar level of male-typical responsiveness to social odors that occurs in male and female rats after adult TP treatment results from nonsteroid-hormone-dependent, species-specific factors that act perinatally in the brains of rats of both sexes.
