Icv administration of α₂ (yohimbine and idaxozan) and β (propranolol) adrenergic antagonists did not affect VCS-facilitated lordosis and proceptive behavior of ovx rats primed with E₂B

Estrous behavior in ovx female rats primed with 5 μg of E₂B was tested 0 and 120 min after application of MFS/VCS. Vehicle data are combined from the rows labeled “saline” and “water” in Table 1. Adrenergic receptor antagonists (5 μg) were administered into the right lateral ventricle 15 min before VCS.
