Single injections of melatonin, 5-hydroxytryptamine or pineal powder on the day of operation significantly blocked compensatory ovarian hypertrophy in unilaterally ovariectomized mice in a dose-related fashion. Inhibition of compensatory ovarian hypertrophy by melatonin was most effective when the compound was given on the day of dioestrus and least effective on the day of pro-oestrus. These results support the conclusion that the pineal gland elaborates one or more substances which have an antigonadotrophic action in the female rodent.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
