Abstract
⺠Selective estrogenic drugs were put in male rat medial preoptic area (MPO) or medial amygdala (MEA). ⺠In MPO, ERα agonists promoted, ERα antagonists inhibited and ERβ agonists did not support mating. ⺠In MEA, estradiol, but not ERα agonists or ERβ agonists, supported mating. ⺠ERα mediates the sexual response of the male rat MPO to estrogen. ⺠The MEA responds differently to estrogen than the MPO and neither ERα nor ERβ alone mediate mating.
