Effects of progesterone on newly synthesized proteins in the ventromedial hypothalamus of the estrogen-primed female rat

The purpose of this work is to understand the basic neurochemical processes by which progesterone affects behavior. Sexual behavior in the female rat is an appropriate model because it is completely dependent on exposure of the medial basal hypothalamus to estrogen and progesterone. These hormones are thought to exert their effects by acting on DNA to alter protein synthesis. Alternatively, due to its short latency to act, progesterone may work by affecting cyclic nucleotide activity.
