Early Histone Modifications in the Ventromedial Hypothalamus and Preoptic Area Following Oestradiol Administration
8 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
Expression of the primary female sex behaviour, lordosis, in laboratory animals depends on oestrogen-induced expression of progesterone receptor (PgR) within a defined cell group in the ventrolateral portion of the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (VMH). The minimal latency from oestradiol administration to lordosis is 18 h. During that time, ligand-bound oestrogen receptors (ER), members of a nuclear...
