Effects of picrotoxin administration on sexual behavior of male rats
Titulo en español: Efectos de la administración de picrotoxin sobre el comportamiento sexual en ratas machos.ABSTRACT: The effects of several doses of picrotoxin on sexual behavior of inexperienced male rats were examined. The lowest doses tested (0.5 and 0.75 mg kg-1) did not alter the sexual behavioral parameters, whereas the higher doses (1.5 and 2.0 mg kg-1) increased latencies for the first mount and intromission and reduced the number of mounts and intromissions and the total number of mounts. None of the picrotoxin doses significantly modified the mount frequency or the copulatory efficiency. The sexual activity index decreased after administration of 1.5 and 2.0 mg kg-1 picrotoxin. The inhibitory effects of the larger doses... Ver más
