Abstract
Administration of α-melanocyte stimulating hormone into the third ventricle increased lordosis behaviour in ovariectomized female rats primed with either oestradiol benzoate and progesterone or oestradiol benzoate alone. α-Melanocyte stimulating hormone had a similar effect in oestradiol benzoate-primed females when administered subcutaneously. These data suggest that α-melanocyte stimulating hormone may be important in controlling sexual behaviour in the female rat.
