pubmed:abstractText |
In the female guinea pig, copulation produces a rapid inhibition of subsequent sexual receptivity. Injection of the alpha adrenergic agonist clonidine before mating blocked the early inhibitory effects of coital stimulation, while the serotonergic antagonist methysergide, and the dopaminergic antagonist pimozide were without effect. The effects of clonidine were prevented by pretreatment with the alpha adrenergic antagonist yohimbine. These results suggest that an adrenergic system is involved in the copulation-induced inhibition of receptivity and provide further evidence that such a system has an important facilitative role in the control of female sexual behavior in the guinea pig.
