The influence of ovarian steroids on modulation of antinociceptive and cataleptic responses to morphine in female rats was evaluated. The sensitivity of the animals to morphine varied at different stages of the estrous cycle. The responses of postpartum and ovariectomized rats to morphine were attenuated. The test doses of estradiol-17.beta. or progesterone either alone or in combination did not alter this attenuated morphine sensitivity while testosterone sensitized post-partum as well as ovariectomized rats to morphine. Unlike progesterone, 17-.alpha.-hydroxy progesterone antagonized testosterone. Ovarian testosterone may be a physiological modulator of actions of morphine in female rats.
