In this report, the possibility that 5-HT receptor density and affinity alter with sexual receptivity has been investigated.

Gamma-amino-butyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors expressed in the ventromedial nucleus (VMN) of the hypothalamus appear to be a key component underlying the expression of sexually dimorphic behaviors in rats.
