The inhibitory role of the dopaminergic and opioidergic mechanisms in the control of LH [luteinizing hormone] secretion in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCO) was evaluated. The administration of an opiate receptor antagonist, naloxone, of a dopamine receptor antagonist, metoclopramide, or of human synthetic bh-endorphin, were unable to alter LH secretory activity in patients with PCO. Since identical doses of these antagonists and the opiate agonist have elicited, respectively, a rise and fall of LH levels in normal cycling women, these findings suggest that an underlying hypothalamic component of defect in endogenous dopamine and opioid control may be responsible for the inappropriate gonadotropin secretion in this syndrome.
