The Effects of Chlorpromazine on Reproductive System and Function in Female Rats
Authors
Abstract:
Background Chlorpromazine (CPZ), an antipsychotic drug, is associated with increased risk of sexual dysfunction through increasing prolactin levels. The current study evaluates the effect of CPZ-induced hyperprolactinemia on ovarian follicular growth, gonadotropins, and alteration of ovarian source hormones. MaterialsAndMethods In this experimental study, animals were divided into four groups, control and CPZ (n=8 per group). In the treated groups, CPZ was administered by gavage at doses of 3, 10 and 30 mg/kg per day for 28 days. On day 29 the animals were killed after which histopathological and histomorphometric analyses of the ovaries were performed. We evaluated the levels of prolactin serum, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E2) and progesterone. Results The ovaries of the test groups showed numerous atretic follicles of various sizes. CPZ caused a significant difference between the test groups and the control group (P

15 صفحه اولThe Effects of Reserpine on Reproductive Function in Female Rats.
The mechanism of ovulation in mammalians has been brought to the field of study in the past decade. The ovulation is undoubtedly induced by the gonadotropin from the adenohypophysis. On the other hand the mechanism controlling the release of gonadotropin from the adenohypophysis has not been clearly elucidated. No matter what mechanism is involved in triggering the gonadotropin secretion from a...
