Hyperprolactinemia induced by pituitary isografts suppresses the priming effect of LH-releasing hormone in normal and hypogonadal mice.

abstract：:Bilateral adrenalectomy (ADX) leads to increased ACTH synthesis and secretion. It is thought that endogenous glucocorticoids exert a feedback mechanism at both pituitary and brain levels. The present study has been performed in order to determine the effect of ADX on the release of hypothalamic neuropeptides with cort...
