Locomotor activity is an important physiologic phenomenon. In previous study we showed that the matricaria chamomilla (chamomile) hydroalcholic extract acts differently in male and female mice. Since sex hormones are important in most of physiological phenomenons, so in this study, the role of sex hormones and chamomile hydroalcholic extract were investigated on motor activity behavior in absence of sex glands in adult male and female NMRI mice. Gonadectomized male and female mice were divided to groups of seven mice including, receiving hydroalcholic extract of chamomile (30 and 50 mg/kg i.p), testosterone (2 mg/kg S.C.), estradiol benzoate (0.1 mg/kg S.C.), and progesterone (0.5 mg/kg S.C.). Motor activity monitor system was used to evaluating locomotor activity parameters in all groups. Results showed that: Testosterone in presence and absence of chamomile hydroalchlic extract had no any effect on motor activity parameters in testctomized male mice. Estradiol benzoate in presence and absence of chamomile hydroalchlic extract increased locomotor activity parameters in ovariectomized mice. Progesterone also did not change locomotor activity in presence and absence of estradiol benzoate and /or chamomile hydroalcholic extract in ovariectomized mice. It seems the both chamomile hydroalcholic extract and estradiol enhance some locomotor activities and probably act through same system and modulate or potentiate the effect of each other. Also it seems there are interaction between estradiol and progesterone and also between chamomile extract and progesterone.
