When pimozide was given to maturing rats, a rise in the level of prolactin in the serum was accompanied by a fall in LH. There was also incomplete initiation of spermatogenesis as well as simultaneous adrenal hypertrophy. Bilateral adrenalectomy failed to prevent hyperprolactinaemia-induced antispermatogenic response, while a significant ameliorating effect was observed with LH, indicating that hyperprolactinaemia influenced the quantitative initiation of spermatogenesis by affecting the secretion of LH.
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.
