The effect of diabetes on alpha2-adrenergic receptor activity in the reproductive centers of the female rat brain

We hypothesized that known diabetes-induced deficits in female rat reproduction may result in part from decreased central alpha(2)-noradrenergic receptor density or affinity. Female rats were oophorectomized and divided into 2 groups; one group received streptozocin during the operation to induce di...
