- W2123345905 abstract "The aim of this study was to determine how the yearly prolactin rhythm might affect the sexual development of Suffolk rams (latitude 50°N). Five rams were injected daily with bromocriptine (35–45 μg kg−1 body weight) for 1 year, beginning in January (early winter) when rams were 11 months of age. Five control rams each received daily injections of the vehicle. In the controls, blood prolactin was <7.5 ng ml−1 in winter, increased (P < 0.01) to a peak of 172.6 ± 11.9 ng ml−1 after the spring equinox, and remained high during summer before declining (P < 0.01) to 29.6 ± 6.6 ng ml−1 at the autumn equinox. Suppression of the seasonal rise in prolactin secretion with bromocriptine slowed testicular growth (50%; P < 0.05) in April and May (spring), thus delaying the time of peak testis size and sperm production by 1 month. Serum testosterone level was lower (50%; P < 0.01) in the treated rams than the controls in June and July (early summer), due mainly to reduced stimulation of the testes by smaller (P < 0.01) LH pulse releases or to smaller (P < 0.01) testosterone responses to LH releases, respectively. Suppression of prolactin also seemed to disrupt the central activation of gonadotropin secretion in that seasonal increases in serum FSH level and LH pulse amplitude and frequency were unusually slow (P < 0.05). These anomalies did not affect testis growth, which was normal from June until development was complete. Rams were sexually inexperienced when libido was first tested in July (non-breeding season). Both groups were equally capable of learning and expressing sexual behavior (i.e. normal mounting and ejaculation frequencies), which was more intense in September (breeding season; P < 0.05). Results support the hypothesis (based on the location of prolactin receptors) that the spring increase in prolactin secretion could target both the testes and the hypothalamic–pituitary system and be involved in the seasonal regulation of sexual function in the young adult Suffolk ram." @default.
