Estrous cycle-dependent variation in amphetamine (AMPH)-stimulated behaviors and striatal dopamine (DA) release was determined for freely moving rats undergoing intracerebral microdialysis. There was greater AMPH-stimulated striatal DA release in the striatum of rats in estrus, during the period from 20 min to 100 min post-AMPH, compared with the response of rats in diestrus (P < 0.05). Animals in estrus also showed less general activity and greater intensity of stereotyped behaviors than did animals in diestrus (P < 0.05). Independent experiments examining estrous cycle-dependent differences in AMPH-stimulated striatal DA release in vitro also found that AMPH-stimualted striatal DA release was greater on estrus than on diestrus (P < 0.05). Thus, striatal DA release and behaviors induced by AMPH are modulated by ovarian hormones. The heightened responsiveness to AMPH during estrus suggests that estrogen and/or progesterone potentiate the striatial DA response to AMPH.
