| Abstract: | Progesterone facilitated sexual receptivity in two experimental paradigms using estrogen-primed, ovariectomized rats. Methysergide can facilitate sexual receptivity in estrogen-primed rats and is able to overcome the inhibitory effects of progesterone. Our results suggest that the inhibitory action of progesterone on sexual receptivity cannot be due to a simple interference with the actions of estrogen on sexual behavior. |
