- W1989715687 abstract "<i>Background:</i> The progesterone (P<sub>4</sub>) metabolite, 5α-pregnan-3α-ol-20-one (3α,5α-THP), acts in the midbrain ventral tegmental area (VTA) to modulate the intensity and duration of lordosis. 3α,5α-THP can also have anti-anxiety and anti-stress effects in part through actions in the hippocampus. Separate reports indicate that manipulating 3α,5α-THP levels in the VTA or hippocampus respectively can influence lordosis and affective behavior. 3α,5α-THP levels can also be altered by behavioral experiences, such as mating or swim stress. Whether endogenous levels of 3α,5α-THP modulate and/or are increased in response to affective and/or reproductively-relevant behaviors was investigated. <i>Methods:</i> In Experiment 1, rats in behavioral estrus or diestrus were individually tested sequentially in the open field, elevated plus maze, partner preference, social interaction, and paced mating tasks and levels of 17β-estradiol (E<sub>2</sub>), P<sub>4</sub>, dihydroprogesterone (DHP), and 3α,5α-THP in serum, midbrain, hippocampus, diencephalon, and cortex were examined. In Experiments 2 and 3, rats in behavioral estrus or diestrus, were individually tested in the battery indicated above, with, or without, paced mating and tissues were collected immediately after testing for later assessment of endocrine measures. <i>Results:</i> In Experiment 1, behavioral estrous, compared to diestrous, rats demonstrated more exploratory, anti-anxiety, social, and reproductive behaviors, and had higher levels of E<sub>2</sub> and progestins in serum, midbrain, hippocampus, diencephalon, and cortex. In Experiment 2, in midbrain and hippocampus, levels of 3α,5α-THP and its precursor DHP were increased among rats in behavioral estrus that were mated. In diencephalon, and cortex, DHP levels were increased by mating. In Experiment 3, in midbrain, levels of 3α,5α-THP and its precursor DHP were increased among diestrous rats that were tested in the behavioral battery with mating as compared to those tested in the behavioral battery without mating. <i>Conclusions:</i> Increased levels of 3α,5α-THP in behavioral estrus versus diestrous rats are associated with enhanced exploratory, anti-anxiety, social, and reproductive behaviors. Rats in behavioral estrus that are mated have further increases in 3α,5α-THP and/or DHP levels in midbrain, hippocampus, diencephalon, and cortex than do non-mated rats in behavioral estrus, whereas diestrous rats only show 3α,5α-THP increases in midbrain in response to behavioral testing that included mating." @default.
