Pregnant rats received l4C-Carrnoisine (200 mg kg-'; 25 pCi) by gavage on days 16-19 of gestation. The animals were killed and maternal tissues, amniotic fluid, placentae, foetal membranes and foetuses were analyzed for radioactivity. No evidence for the transplacental transfer of ''C-Carmoisine or
## Abstract Testosterone (T) plays an important role in developing brain, dictating sexβspecific behavior and physiology. 3Ξ±,5Ξ±βReduced neurosteroids also regulate reproductive behavior. The key enzyme in the biosynthesis of these neurosteroids is 5Ξ±βreductase (5Ξ±βR), expressed as two isozymes, 5Ξ±β
The effect of prolonged administration of the potent and specific 5-HT uptake inhibitor citalopram on behavioural measures of dopaminergic and serotonergic activity has been studied in rats. Administration of citalopram in the diet at a daily dose of 99 mumol/kg led to supersensitivity to d-amphetam
