Abstract
The effect of Pimozide on serum and pituitary concentration of LH was studied in adult male intact rats. Also the release of LH under stimulation of exogenous LH-RH was measured. The treatment for 5 days with pimozide did not alter the serum LH levels, decreased the release of LH by exogenous LH-RH stimulation, and increased the pituitary LH concentration. These results would indicate that blocking the dopaminergic receptors alters pituitary LH release mechanism.
