Heroin intake decreases markedly during proestrus in normally cycling female rats; however, it is not known whether estradiol, progesterone, or both hormones are responsible for these decreases in heroin intake. The purpose of the present study was to examine the roles of estradiol and progesterone in heroin intake by artificially inducing a proestrus state in ovariectomized rats. To this end, ovariectomized female rats were implanted with intravenous catheters and trained to self-administer heroin (0.0075 mg/kg/infusion) on a fixed ratio (FR1) schedule of reinforcement. After one week of training, rats were tested at weekly intervals with estradiol (0.005 mg, sc) or vehicle 22 hr before a test session and progesterone (0.125 mg, sc) or vehicle 0.5 hr before a test session to artificially mimic the naturally occurring hormone concentrations characteristic of late proestrus. Administration of estradiol 22 hr prior to testing and progesterone 0.5 hr prior to testing significantly reduced heroin intake relative to the previous training day and vehicle control. Interestingly, this same effect was observed when only estradiol, but not progesterone, was administered. These data suggest that estradiol but not progesterone is responsible for the proestrus-induced decreases in heroin intake previously reported in normally cycling female rats. These findings differ from those reported previously with stimulants and suggest that estrogen-based pharmacotherapies may be of value in women with opioid use disorder.
