Dopaminergic activation of estrogen receptors induces fos expression within restricted regions of the neonatal female rat brain
Open accessAbstract
Steroid receptor activation in the developing brain influences a variety of cellular processes that endure into adulthood, altering both behavior and physiology. Recent data suggests that dopamine can regulate expression of progestin receptors within restricted regions of the developing rat brain by activating estrogen receptors in a ligand-independent manner. It is unclear whether changes in neuronal activity induced by dopaminergic activation of estrogen receptors are also region specific. To investigate this question, we examined where the dopamine D1-like receptor agonist, SKF 38393, altered Fos expression via estrogen receptor activation. We report that dopamine D1-like receptor agonist treatment increased Fos protein expression within many regions of the developing female rat brain. More importantly, prior treatment with an estrogen receptor antagonist partially reduced D1-like receptor agonist-induced Fos expression only within the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis and the central amygdala. These data suggest that dopaminergic activation of estrogen receptors alters neuronal activity within restricted regions of the developing rat brain. This implies that ligand-independent activation of estrogen receptors by dopamine might organize a unique set of behaviors during brain development in contrast to the more wide spread ligand activation of estrogen receptors by estrogen.

SKF 38,393 is a D1-receptor agonist that induces c-Fos protein in several brain areas, including the amygdala and BST, within an hour following a systemic infusion.
“SKF 38,393 is a D1-receptor agonist that induces c-Fos protein in several brain areas, 54,55 including the amygdala and BST, 34 within an hour following a systemic infusion”

The Results for Experiment 1 report increased Fos-immunoreactive cells after SKF 38393 treatment in several regions, including the BST and central amygdala (CeA). The Methods identify SKF 38393 as a D1-like receptor agonist, but describe a subcutaneous injection and measurement 2.5 hours later—not induction within one hour following a systemic infusion. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSystemic SKF 38,393 administration can increase c-Fos-ir labels in both the amygdala and BST.
“even though systemic SKF 38,393 administration can increase c-Fos-ir labels in both the amygdala and BST.34”

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.
