• W1978668450 abstract "Comparisons have been made between the effects of shortened daylength and melatonin treatment on plasma prolactin and melatonin levels in pinealectomised (Px) and sham-operated (Sh) ewes. Twenty-two anoestrous Merino crossbred ewes, maintained under normal grazing conditions, were assigned to four groups for a period of 9 weeks. Group 1 remained untreated (control), Group 2 was herded into a dark shed at 1600 h each day until dark (approx 4 h), ewes in Group 3 were injected with 100 μg melatonin s.c. at 1600 h each day and ewes in Group 4 were implanted with a melatonin capsule releasing 125–200 μg/day. Another group (Group 5) of 4 Px and 4 Sh ewes from the same flock was maintained in an animal house and subjected to shortened daylength (10. 5 h L : 13. 5 h D, lights off 1600 h). Three weeks after the treatments began, ewes in Groups 1–4 were exposed to a fertile ram and ewes in Group 5 to a vasectomised ram and the day of mating noted. No differences were evident between Groups 1–4 in the ewes' response to the ram, time taken to conceive, duration of gestation or number of lambs born. In untreated Px ewes no plasma melatonin (< 20 pg/ml) was found in either day or night samples, whereas intact animals showed the characteristic night-time rise. The silastic implants produced stable daytime blood levels of 90–120 pg/ml, whereas a single injection of 100 μg melatonin caused a transitory (2–3 h) rise. Shortened daylength (Group 2) or a single daily injection of melatonin (Group 3) lowered prolactin levels but only in ewes with an intact pineal gland, whereas melatonin implants (Group 4) caused a reduction in plasma prolactin in both Px and Sh sheep. The results indicate that light-induced alterations in prolactin production in sheep involve both the pineal gland and melatonin. Continuous melatonin release from implants caused changes in plasma prolactin levels similar to those seen following exposure to short days." @default.
