  1. 01AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Mechanism

    In anesthetized rodents, melanotan II, like apomorphine, increased the ratio of low-frequency to high-frequency oscillations in vaginal blood flow.

    In plain wordsIn anesthetized rodents, melanotan II, like apomorphine, shifted vaginal blood-flow rhythms toward slower oscillations, a marker of sexual arousal.

    Summary
    Drugs known to induce sexual arousal (apomorphine and melanotan II) were tested in anesthetized rodents. Both compounds induced an increase in the LF/HF ratio.
