Not including female rats or mice in neuroscience research has been justified due to the variable nature of data caused by hormonal fluctuations associated with reproductive cycle. In this study, we investigated whether are more than male scientific reports neuroscience-related traits.PubMed and Web Science were searched for period from August 1, 2010, July 31, 2014, articles that included both measured diverse aspects brain function. Only empirical using gonad-intact adult rats, written...
Abstract The nigrostriatal dopamine (DA) system is sexually dimorphic. In female but not male rats, striatal DA activity modulated by gonadal steroid hormones. Ovariectomy (OVX) decreases release and turnover. Estrogen replacement restores the response to that of intact in estrus. contrast, castration (CAST) rats has no effect on stimulated from tissue. This report addresses question: Dose estrogen act directly striatum induce changes release? Physiological concentrations 17b̃‐estradiol...
In this review we propose that there are sex differences in how men and women enter onto the path can lead to addiction. Males more likely than females engage risky behaviors include experimenting with drugs of abuse, susceptible individuals, they drawn into spiral eventually Women girls begin taking as self-medication reduce stress or alleviate depression. For reason downward further along addiction, so transition addiction rapidly. We difference is due, at least part, organization neural...
Women exhibit more rapid escalation from casual drug taking to addiction, a greater withdrawal response with abstinence, and tend vulnerability than men in terms of treatment outcome. In rodents, short-term estradiol intake female rats enhances acquisition taking, motivation for drugs abuse, relapse-like behaviors. There is also sex difference the dopamine nucleus accumbens. Ovariectomized smaller initial increase after cocaine castrated males. Estradiol ovariectomized stimulated release...
