Sex differences in the effects of testosterone and its metabolites on vasopressin messenger RNA levels in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis of rats
Open accessAbstract
Male rats have about two times as many steroid-responsive vasopressin- immunoreactive (AVP-ir) neurons in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST) as female rats. This sex difference does not depend on differences in circulating hormone levels, since it persists in males and females that are treated with similar levels of testosterone. To analyze the cellular basis of this sex difference, we compared the effects of testosterone and its metabolites on AVP mRNA expression in the BST of males and females that were gonadectomized at 3 months of age. When rats received implants of Silastic tubing filled with testosterone, males had more cells that were labeled for AVP mRNA and more labeling per cell than females. When, in a second experiment, rats received implants of either empty tubing, or tubing with dihydrotestosterone (DHT), estradiol (E), or E plus DHT, hardly any labeled cells were found in rats with empty implants. E treatment significantly stimulated AVP mRNA expression in both sexes, but significantly more so in males, which had more cells that were labeled for AVP mRNA and more labeling per cell than females. DHT treatment by itself did not stimulate AVP mRNA expression, but when given in combination with E, it significantly increased the number of cells over that of animals treated with E alone. This increase was seen in males only. However, in both sexes, it increased the labeling per cell over that of animals treated with E only, but more so in males than in females.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

TL;DR
In gonadectomized adult rats given similar testosterone implants, males had more vasopressin (AVP) mRNA-labeled cells and more labeling per cell in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST) than females. Estradiol stimulated AVP mRNA in both sexes but more in males, and adding dihydrotestosterone increased labeled-cell number only in males, suggesting sex differences in estrogen and androgen responsiveness of individual AVP-producing BST cells.
Key findings
- With similar testosterone implants, males had more BST cells labeled for AVP mRNA than females (ANOVA, F = 12.43, df = 1/11, p < 0.01) and more grains per labeled cell (ANOVA, F = 6.63, df = 1/11, p < 0.05).
- In the metabolite experiment, overall males had more AVP mRNA-labeled cells than females (F = 16.98, df = 1/45, p < 0.0005), treatment affected labeled-cell number (F = 114.32, df = 3/45, p < 0.0001), and treatment effects differed by sex (F = 8.43, df = 3/45, p < 0.0001).
- Estradiol (E) significantly stimulated AVP mRNA expression in both sexes, but E-treated males had significantly more labeled cells than E-treated females. DHT alone did not stimulate AVP mRNA expression; E+DHT increased labeled-cell number over E alone in males only.
- Among E- and E+DHT-treated animals, males had more grains per labeled cell than females (F = 14.93, df = 1/23, p < 0.001), and E+DHT-treated rats had more grains per cell than E-treated rats (F = 6.46, df = 1/23, p < 0.05); the sex × treatment interaction for grains per cell did not reach significance (F = 3.82, df = 1/23, p = 0.063).
Methods
- Adult male and female Long-Evans rats (80–90 d old) were gonadectomized and implanted with Silastic tubing. Experiment 1: 7 males and 6 females received testosterone implants. Experiment 2: rats received empty implants (7 males, 7 females), DHT (6 males, 6 females), estradiol (6 males, 8 females), or E+DHT (6 males, 7 females).
- Animals were decapitated 4 weeks after implantation; brains were sectioned and processed for in situ hybridization for AVP mRNA in the BST, with labeled cells and grains counted under dark-field illumination by experimenters blind to specimen identity.
- Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA (experiment 1) or three-way ANOVA (experiment 2) with sex and treatment as between-subject variables and side of brain as a repeated measure, followed by Newman-Keuls post hoc tests for significant interactions.
Limitations
- The paper does not state a formal limitations section.
- Stated in the text: in the suprachiasmatic, supraoptic, and paraventricular nuclei, labeled cells and grain density could not be determined accurately; and the sex × treatment interaction for grains per labeled cell in E- versus E+DHT-treated animals failed to reach significance (p = 0.063).
- Evident from the text: group sizes were small (6–8 animals per group), hormone levels were not measured in this study but cited from prior implant characterizations, and grain analysis was restricted to E- and E+DHT-treated groups because empty- and DHT-treated animals had virtually no labeled cells.

- Partly supportedcites Axelson and Van Leeuwen, 1990 sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
The Double-staining of ER and VP-NP section (page unavailable) reports estrogen-receptor staining in parvocellular VP cells of the BST and says no VP-NP-positive cells without that staining were seen there. The paper does not report androgen-receptor immunoreactivity in those cells, so it supports only the estrogen-receptor part of the claim. (LLM, conf=0.89)

“The sex differences found in the present study suggest that sexual differentiation of AVP projections of the BST entails a number of developmental decisions, among which a decision as to how many BST cells will express AVP and a decision on the efficacy of the mechanisms that mediate gonadal hormone effects on AVP gene expression in individual cells.”

“Nonetheless, gonadal hormones appear to only partially explain sex differences in AVP expression because both females and males, exposed to a similar gonadal steroid hormone regime, still differ sexually ( de Vries and al-Shamma, 1990 ; de Vries et al., 1994 ).”

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-12, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-12 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
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.
