Copulatory behavior in the ovariectomized rat, i.e. the lordosis response (LR) on being mounted by a male, can be induced by administration of either estrogen alone or estrogen followed by progesterone. LR has been shown to be inhibited by lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in certain doses (≥50 μg/kg) and by Levo-5-hydroxytryptophan (L-5-HTP) (≥2.5 mg/kg). This effect was recently found to be...
