title: [Effect of hypothalamic implants changing monoamine levels on continuous estrus in rats induced by androgen treatment in the neonatal period].
abstract: The constant estrus induced by neonatal androgenization in the female rat may be disrupted following a drug-induced change of the monoamine levels in the preoptic area and arcuate nucleus of the median eminence. The most precise effect is obtained with 5-HT. This is in favour of a predominant alteration of the serotonergic system which seems to be involved in the sexual differentiation of the brain.
