WASHINGTON
\n (Reuters) – A drug that seems to drive female rats mad for sex may offer
\n the first real scientific aphrodisiac for women, U.S. and Canadian researchers
\n said on Monday.<\/p>\n

The drug, Palatin Technologies Inc’s PT-141, is being developed for use
\n to fight impotence in men, but the researchers said tests showed it also
\n aroused female rats.<\/p>\n

"Accordingly, PT-141 may be the first identified pharmacological agent
\n with the capability to treat female sexual desire disorders," they
\n wrote in their report, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy
\n of
\n Science.<\/p>\n

This could be good news for rhinoceros and sea cucumbers….<\/em><\/p>\n
