Differential effects of progesterone and genital stimulation on sequential inhibition of estrous behavior and progesterone receptor expression in the rat brain

Highlights ► We studied the effect of VCS on PR concentrations on the hypothalamus and POA. ► VCS significantly decreased PR-B concentration in the hypothalamus. ► The Pelvic or pudendal nerves transection prevented down regulation elicited by VCS. ► P or VCS produced PR down regulation through the...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights ► We studied the effect of VCS on PR concentrations on the hypothalamus and POA. ► VCS significantly decreased PR-B concentration in the hypothalamus. ► The Pelvic or pudendal nerves transection prevented down regulation elicited by VCS. ► P or VCS produced PR down regulation through the pelvic and pudendal nerves. ► VCS failed to inhibit sequential inhibition.
