Table 3.

Depicts lordosis ratings, proceptivity and aggression quotients of ovariectomized rats administered SC vehicle+Intra-VTA vehicle, SC E2+Intra-VTA vehicle, SC vehicle+Intra-VTA 3α,5α-THP, or SC E2+Intra-VTA 3α,5α-THP

Experimental condition Lordosis
rating		 Proceptivity
quotient		 Aggression
quotient
SC vehicle+Intra-VTA vehicle 0.3±0.1 7±6 18±5
SC E2+Intra-VTA vehicle 0.7±0.2 3±3 24±9
SC vehicle+Intra-VTA 3α,5α-THP 0.2±0.1 27±12 5±2*
SC E2+Intra-VTA 3α,5α-THP 2.7±0.1** 71±5** 5±2*
*

Indicates significant reduction in aggression among 3α,5α-THP-infused rats compared to vehicle-infused rats (F1,44=7.17, P<0.05).

**

Indicates significant interaction for 3α,5α-THP to enhance lordosis ratings (F1,44=4.29, P<0.05) and proceptivity (F1,44=9.88, P<0.05) to a greater degree among E2 primed rats than in vehicle-primed rats.
