Pfaus JG, Shadiack A, Van Soest T, et al. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 2004;101:10201-10204.
What it found
PT-141 increased solicitation behaviours in female rats without changing lordosis, pacing, other sexual behaviours, general activity or the rewarding effect of sex. The authors interpreted this as a selective effect on sexual motivation.
