Abstract/OtherAbstract:
To determine whether prolactin has luteolytic properties during the first part of the luteal period, hysterectomy was performed in four dogs, in which prolactin had been chronically suppressed by bromocriptine administration. The concentration of progesterone in the peripheral blood decreased upon hysterectomy during the first part of the luteal phase and regained normal values after about seven days. The progesterone patterns during the perisurgical period in these dogs were similar to those patterns observed in dogs hysterectomised without bromocriptine treatment. It is concluded therefore that, in the dog, luteolytic properties can not be attributed to prolactin.
