RationaleSex differences in the dopaminergic response to psychostimulants could have implications for drug abuse risk and other psychopathology involving the dopamine system, but human data are limited and mixed.ObjectivesHere, we sought to investigate sex differences in dopamine release after orald-amphetamine administration.MethodsWe used [18F]fallypride positron emission tomography (PET) to measure the change in dopamine D2/3 receptor availability (%ΔBPND, an index of dopamine release) between placebo andd-amphetamine sessions in two independent datasets containing a total of 39 females (on either hormonal birth controln= 18, postmenopausaln= 10, or studied in the first 10 days of their menstrual cyclen= 11) and 37 males.ResultsUsing both a priori anatomical regions of interest based on previous findings and voxelwise analyses, we failed to consistently detect broad sex differences ind-amphetamine-induced dopamine release. Nevertheless, there was limited evidence for greater right ventral striatal dopamine release in young adult males relative to similarly aged females, but this was not consistently observed across samples. Plasma estradiol did not correlate with dopamine release and this measure did not differ in females on and off hormonal birth control.ConclusionsWhile our finding in young adults from one dataset of greater %ΔBPNDin males is partially consistent with a previously published study on sex differences ind-amphetamine-induced dopamine release, our data do not support the presence of consistent widespread sex differences in this measure of dopamine release.
