Cadmium induces testosterone synthesis disorder by testicular cell damage via TLR4/MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway leading to reduced sexual behavior in piglets

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic metal pollutant that can endanger the life and health of animals. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) can result in testicular cell damage by positively regulating mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/nuclear factor-kappaB (NF ...

Glutamate Afferents From the Medial Prefrontal Cortex Mediate Nucleus Accumbens Activation by Female Sexual Behavior

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2019
Low levels of desire and arousal are the primary sexual dysfunctions in women, necessitating neurobiological studies of sexual motivation in female animal models.

The endogenous cannabinoid system modulates male sexual behavior expression

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) plays a key neuromodulatory role in the brain. Main features of endocannabinoids (eCBs) are that they are produced on demand, in response to enhanced neuronal activity, act as retrograde messengers, and participate in the

High fat diet alters Drosophila melanogaster sexual behavior and traits: decreased attractiveness and changes in pheromone profiles

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Sexual traits convey information about individual quality to potential mates. Environmental and genetic factors affect sexual trait expression and perception via effects on animal condition and health. High fat diet (HFD) is one environmental factor that

Face and voice attractiveness judgments change during adolescence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Attractivenessjudgments are thought to underpin adaptive mate choice decisions. We investigated how these judgmentschange during adolescence when mate choice is becoming relevant.

Being friendly: paced mating for the study of physiological, behavioral, and neuroplastic changes induced by sexual behavior in females

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023
Paced mating in rats is an experimental condition that allows the evaluation of sexual behavior in a way that closely resembles what occurs in seminatural and natural conditions enabling the female to control the rate of the sexual interaction.

Phenotyping the males of mouse and rat strains with genetically defined behavioral disturbances in a model of sexual activation

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2015
Sexual behavior is one of the biologically highly relevant types of behavior. Sexual arousal, or an initial stage of sexual behavior, is of particular interest since it triggers all the following events but still remains the least known element of this ...

Comparison of Sexual Behavior Patterns in Small Laboratory Animals

open access: yesExperimental Animals, 1993
It is known that in the reproductive systems, aged-related changes are prominent. Similarly, in normal nonhuman primates and other mammals such as rats, various sexual activities of male and female decline with aging. The purpose of the present study was to clarify the pattern of sexual behavior in matured mice, voles, Syrian hamsters, rats, guinea ...

Behavioral evidence of the functional interaction between the main and accessory olfactory system suggests a large olfactory system with a high plastic capability

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2023
Olfaction is fundamental in many species of mammals. In rodents, the integrity of this system is required for the expression of parental and sexual behavior, mate recognition, identification of predators, and finding food.
