| Abstract: | Ovariectomized female rats were administered 1, 2, 4, and 8 μg of estradiol benzoate and either 10, 25, 50, 100, or 200 μg of progesterone and were tested for sexual receptivity. The probability of lordosis was related directly to the dose of both steroids. Individual differences in hormone response were marked. Ear wiggling and hopping were primarily related to the dose of progesterone. |
