The role of progestin receptors in arginine vasopressin cells in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis and the centromedial amygdala of rats and mice
The vasopressin (AVP)-expressing neurons in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST) and centromedial amygdala (CMA) are highly sensitive to gonadal hormones. Gonadectomy eliminates, and testosterone replacement restores, AVP immunoreactivity, and AVP mRNA expression in the BST and CMA. Althoug...
