Gonadal hormone actions on the morphology of the vasopressinergic innervation of the adult rat brain
Open accessAbstract
Castration of adult male rats resulted in a gradual decrease in vasopressin fiber density over a period of 15 weeks to a point where hardly any fibers were found in those areas where the fibers probably are derived from the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis. The original fiber density could be restored by testosterone replacement therapy within 5 weeks. No effects of hormonal manipulations were found in the vasopressin projections of the paraventricular and the suprachiasmatic nucleus. Ovariectomy of female rats resulted in the same changes in the vasopressin fiber pathways, as did castration in males.

Hormonal action on the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis/medial amygdala vasopressin cell population may help drive aspects of steroid-sensitive sexual behavior since gonadal hormones affect both male sexual behavior and vasopressin expression within the extended amygdala.
“Hormonal action on this cell population may help drive aspects of steroid-sensitive sexual behavior since gonadal hormones affect both male sexual behavior (120, 121) and AVP expression within the extended amygdala (33).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
