Abstract
Background:Itiswellknownprogesteronecanhaveanxiolytic-likeeffectsinanimalsinanumberofdifferentbehavioral
testing paradigms. Although progesterone is known to influence physiology and behavior by binding to classical
intracellular progestin receptors, progesterone’s anxiety reducing effects have solely been attributed to its rapid non-
genomic effects at the GABAA receptor. This modulation occurs following the bioconversion of progesterone to
allopregnanolone.Seeminglyparadoxicalresultsfromsomestudiessuggestedthatthefunctionofprogesteronetoreduce
anxiety-likebehaviormaynotbeentirelyclear;therefore,wehypothesizedthatprogesteronemightalsoactuponprogestin
receptorstoregulateanxiety.
Methodology/PrincipalFindings:Totestthis,weexaminedtheanxiolytic-likeeffectsofprogesteroneinmaleratsusingthe
elevated plus maze, a validated test of anxiety, and the light/dark chamber in the presence or absence of a progestin
receptorantagonist,RU486.Herewepresentevidencesuggestingthattheanxiolytic-likeeffectsofprogesteroneinmale
rats can be mediated, in part, by progestin receptors, as these effects are blocked by prior treatment with a progestin
receptorantagonist.
Conclusion/Significance: This indicates that progesterone can act upon progestin receptors to regulate anxiety-like
behaviorinthemaleratbrain.
