Effects of Streptozotocin-induced Diabetes on Receptive and Proceptive Behaviors in Female Rats

Sexual dysfunction in diabetic men is thoroughly recognized, while not yet done in diabetic women. Recently, Streptozotocin (STZ) -induced male rats showed a significantly depressed copulatory behavior, compared with normal animals. We investigated whether STZ-induced diabetic female rats would prod...

Zusammenfassung:	Sexual dysfunction in diabetic men is thoroughly recognized, while not yet done in diabetic women. Recently, Streptozotocin (STZ) -induced male rats showed a significantly depressed copulatory behavior, compared with normal animals. We investigated whether STZ-induced diabetic female rats would produce observable deficits in sexual behavior. Results in the present study are the first to show that STZ-induced diabetic female rats have a depressed sexual behavior.
