Estradiol rapidly activates male sexual behavior and affects brain monoamine levels in the quail brain (2006)

Cornil, Charlotte, Dalla, C, Papadopoulou-Daifoti, Z, Baillien, M, Balthazart, Jacques

Steroids are generally viewed as transcription factors binding to intracellular receptors and activating gene transcription. Rapid cellular effects mediated via non-genomic mechanisms have however...

Male aromatase-knockout mice exhibit normal levels of activity, anxiety and "depressive-like" symptomatology (2005)

Dalla, C, Antoniou, K, Papadopoulou-Daifoti, Z, Balthazart, Jacques, Bakker, Julie

It is well known that estradiol derived from neural aromatization of testosterone plays a crucial role in the development of the male brain and the display of sexual behaviors in adulthood. It was...

Rapid decreases in preoptic aromatase activity and brain monoamine concentrations after engaging in male sexual behavior (2005)

Cornil, Charlotte, Dalla, C, Papadopoulou-Daifoti, Z, Baillien, M, Dejace, C, Ball, GF, ...

In Japanese quail, as in rats, the expression of male sexual behavior over relatively long time periods (days to weeks) is dependent on the local production of estradiol in the preoptic area via the...

Oestrogen-deficient female aromatase knockout (ArKO) mice exhibit 'depressive-like' symptomatology (2004)

Dalla, C, Antoniou, K, Papadopoulou-Daifoti, Z, Balthazart, Jacques, Bakker, Julie

We recently found that female aromatase knockout (ArKO) mice that are deficient in oestradiol due to a targeted mutation in the aromatase gene show deficits in sexual behaviour that cannot be...

Estrogen-deficient female but not male aromatase knockout (ArKO) mice exhibit "depressive-like" symptoms (2004)
