Dopamine activates masculine sexual behavior independent of the estrogen receptor alpha.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 1 Jun 2000

Wersinger S R, Rissman E F

Abstract excerpt

Estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) is believed to be a critical part of the regulatory processes involved in normal reproduction and sexual behavior. However, in this study we show the ERalpha is not required for display of masculine sexual behavior. Male and female, ERalpha knock-out (ERalphaKO) and wild-type mice were gonadectomized and implanted with testosterone. Sexual behavior and social preferences were...
