NEW YORK: In a new research, scientists at the Concordia University in Montreal have come up with a new drug that when given to female rats attracts the attention of males, with females assuming postures that invited sexual activity.
According to lead researcher James G. Pfaus, the drug called PT-141 was made by Palatin Technologies of Cranbury, New Jersey and the researchers ran the tests for them.
"This is the first step in really trying to understand sexual
desire in the brain. We hope it will lead to better treatments that
women can use themselves
for themselves," he said.
This is not something all women need. It could be useful for women who are sexually functional, lose that desire but don't want to accept the loss, he added.
In the study the female rats did not increase their overall amount of activity, but did more movements that are typical of sexual overtures to attract males.
"Women let us know they're there and do social behaviors that let us know that they're interested," Pfaus said. He said that the researchers are working with female rats to see where in the brain cells are activated for increased sexual desire.
