Effects of estradiol and raloxifene analog on brain, adrenal and serum allopregnanolone content in fertile and ovariectomized female rats.

abstract：:The rise in the concentration of LH in the serum that takes place in ovariectomized, estrogen-primed rats exposed to the odors from a cage with bedding soiled by a male rat was completely prevented by bilateral lesions destroying the ventral premammillary (PMv) nuclei. These results suggest that the pheromonal stimuli...

It has also been demonstrated that regulation of pituitary rGH secretion is at least partly mediated by a short-loop negative feedback system. In such a system, inc...
