The induction of mounting behavior in female rats by p-chlorophenylalanine
Abstract
The effect of p-chlorophenylalanine (pCPA) and testosterone propionate (TP) on mounting behavior of ovariectomized female rats towards receptive and non-receptive stimulus females was studied. Both pCPA and TP facilitated mounting and the effect was intensified when these compounds were administered together. pCPA increased mounting behavior in the non-receptive stimulus condition. The results are interpreted as further evidence that pCPA affects sexual behavior in two ways: at first by a direct influence on the neutral substrate underlying masculine sexual behavior, and secondly by changing information processing of the sensory input from the partner.
