Abstract
Previous experiments demonstrated that intracerebroventricular infusion of the protein kinase G inhibitor KT5823 inhibits lordosis behavior in hormone-treated female rats. Present studies show that KT5823 attenuates lordosis in a dose-dependent manner when infused bilaterally into the ventromedial hypothalamus. Thus, activation of protein kinase G in the ventromedial hypothalamus is necessary for the expression of hormone-dependent lordosis behavior in female rats.
