Characterization of the inhibitory effects of hyperprolactinaemia on the mechanism controlling LH secretion in chronically ovariectomized rats.

The time-course of the inhibitory effect of hyperprolactinaemia on LH secretion was delineated. Hyperprolactinaemia was induced in ovariectomized rats with injections of domperidone or ovine prolactin and circulating LH levels were measured from 1 h to 9 days after the treatment. Inhibition of LH secretion occurred within 2-4 h after treatment, and was maintained (provided that serum prolactin remained elevated) for a period of 6 days only. Thereafter LH levels increased to become insignificantly different from control levels on Day 9. A reduction in pituitary responsiveness was not associated with the acute or sub-chronic inhibition of LH secretion, although a significant fall in responsiveness was observed simultaneously with the return of serum LH levels to control values. No changes in hypothalamic LH-RH content was found. It is concluded that an impairment of pituitary function is not responsible for the inhibitory action of prolactin on LH secretion.
