✦ Synopsis
Oxotremorine (0.1-0.8 mg/kg IP), but not arecoline (12~48 mg/kg IP), or pilocarpine (5-20 mg/kg IP), reduced both the number of intromissions to ejaculation and the ejaculation latency in methscopolamine-pretreated male rats. The effects of oxotremorine, (0.4 mg/kg IP) were completely antagonized by the administration of scopolamine (0.4 mg/kg IP). Methscopolamine (3-12 mg/kg IP), or scopolamine (0.2-0.4 mg/kg IP) did not by themselves produce any statistically significant effects on male rat sexual behavior.
