چکیده
The influence of 2-Br-alpha-ergocryptine (CB 154) on the secretion of gonadotrophins and on testicular function has been studied in rams subjected to either a normal photoperiod or an abnormal photoperiod causing hyperprolactinaemia. The CB 154 treatment significantly lowered the mean frequency of LH and testosterone pulses in hyperprolactinaemic animals as compared to solvent-treated ones. Also, only those groups subjected to an abnormal photoperiod (groups 2 and 3) exhibited a significant rise in the frequency of LH and testosterone peaks after CB 154 was withdrawn. During treatment, plasma FSH concentrations increased significantly only in group 1 which was subjected to normal photoperiodic variations. Testicular growth was delayed in CB 154-treated rams compared to solvent-treated ones only in group 3 (hyperprolactinaemic).

Background: Hyperprolactinemia is a particular concern in the treatment of schizophrenic patients. The side effects associated with high prolactin levels can have a negative impact on GnRH pulsatile secretion and, consequently LH, FSH and testosterone pulsatility and follows by, on special testicular cells that have these hormon’s receptors such as sertoli and leydig cells. Quantification the d...

Background: Prescription of the atypical antipsychotic drugs like as Sulpiride for the treatment of schizophrenic patients was increased because of their less side effects. This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of sulpiride on hormonal milieu of adult male mice namely their serum level of prolactin and sexual hormones. Materials and Methods: 24 adult male mice were divided in three groups...

The secretion of prolactin in cultured pituitary cells was studied in correlation with the cellular changes induced by stimulatory or inhibitory agents. The techniques used in this study were: radioimmunoassay, immunocytochemistry, scanning (SEM) as well as transmission (TEM) electron microscopy. Prolactin secretion was stimulated by 17 beta-estradiol (10 nM) as well as thyrotropin-releasing ho...

In order to investigate the effects of induced hypoprolactinaemia on gonadotrophin levels and testicular function in the ram, CB 154 was administered either in summer under natural photoperiod or in winter combined with a light regime stimulating prolactin release. Under natural photoperiod in summer, plasma FSH levels increased from 2.5 to 4 ng/ml in controls and from 2.5 to 8 ng/ml in CB 154-...
