1 Neonatal testosterone potentiates stimulated prolactin secretion in adult oestrogen-primed rats. Testosterone prolactin Rattus norvegicus
2 Neonatal exposure of the female rats to testosterone caused a dose-dependent increase in the amounts of prolactin released to levels significantly (P less than 0.01) higher than those observed in male animals and in untreated females. Testosterone prolactin Rattus norvegicus
3 The results indicate that although neonatal testosterone inhibits oestrogen-stimulated prolactin secretion in adult rats, the neuroendocrine apparatus controlling secretion of the hormone is capable of being activated to greater effect after exposure to androgens at the time of birth. Testosterone prolactin Rattus norvegicus
