“…Our results indicate that stimulation or inhibition of ß-adrenergic receptors during the postnatal period influences sexual differentiation of brain function. We had demonstrated previously that stimulation or inhibition of x-adrenergic receptors during the postnatal period also influences sexual differentiation of brain function (Jarzab et al, 1986;1987b). In addition, we observed recently that postnatal treatment with the ß2-adrenergic receptor agonist salbutamol influenced differentiation of the sexually dimorphic nucleus of the preoptic area (Jarzab et al, in preparation).…”

“…These animals were more frequently mounted by stud males and exhibited more lordoses responses when mounted than control males. In an earlier study we reported that postnatal treatment of female rats with the cx2-agonist clonidin prevented the defeminizing influence of concomitantly applied testosterone on the capacity to express lordosis behavior in adulthood (Jarzab et al, 1987b). Since stimulation of cx2-adrenergic receptors inhibits the release of norepinephrin into the synaptic cleft and, thus, inhibits stimulation of postsynaptic x1-adrenergic and ß-adrenergic receptors we proposed that oc-adrenergic receptors may mediate testosterone-induced defeminization and that ß-adrenergic receptors may participate in feminization of female sexual behavior patterns.…”

“…The alterations in DA and 5-HT transmitter levels and in DA utilisation were also present in these non-cortical areas. This is of particular interest, as the behavioural and physiological changes reported by Mirmiran et al (1983, t985) appear to be more related to lower brain functions (altered sleep regulation, locomotor activity and sexual behaviour; see also Jarzab et al 1987) than to cortical functions. However, there are also differences in the experimental outcome of the present experiments and the studies by Mirmiran et al (1985).…”
