PG - 105257 LID - S0018-506X(22)00151-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.yhbeh.2022.105257 [doi] AB - Intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of estradiol benzoate (E(2)B) and progesterone (P) induces intense lordosis behavior in ovariectomized rats primed peripherally with E(2)B. The present study tested the hypothesis that the Kisspeptin (Kiss) and melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) pathways regulate female sexual behavior induced by these steroid hormones. In Experiment 1, we tested the relevance of the Kiss pathway by ICV infusion of its inhibitor, kiss-234, before administration of E(2)B or P in estrogen-primed rats. Lordosis induced by E(2)B alone or with the addition of P was reduced significantly at 30, 120, and 240 min. In Experiment 2, ICV infusion of MCH 30 min before E(2)B or P significantly reduced lordosis in rats primed with E(2)B alone. These data support the hypothesis that the Kiss and MCH pathways, which can release or modulate gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), are involved in E(2)B- and P-induced lordosis.
