When male rough-skinned newts (Taricha granulosa) are exposed to presumptive stressors, the incidence of courtship decreases and plasma corticosterone concentration increases. When sexually active males are injected intraperitoneally with corticosterone (1, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 micrograms), the incidence of courtship decreases rapidly and in proportion to the dose of corticosterone. Intracerebroventricular infusion of synthetic corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) elevates plasma corticosterone levels and suppresses courtship. When male newts receive an injection of metyrapone, a drug that interferes with corticosterone synthesis, the inhibitory effects of stress or CRF infusion on courtship are reduced. These results support the hypothesis that, in this amphibian, elevated levels of corticosterone associated with exposure to stressful stimuli inhibit sexual behaviors.
