Measurement of pituitary gonadotrophin releasing hormone (Gn-RH) receptor content provides a qualitative index of prior exposure of the pituitary gland to endogenous Gn-RH. The effect of moderate hyperprolactinaemia (serum prolactin = 95-250 micrograms/1), achieved with three pituitary grafts beneath the renal capsule, on the pituitary Gn-RH receptor content and serum LH responses to gonadectomy of adult rats has been studied. In males the presence of hyperprolactinaemia for 7 days completely prevented the increase in Gn-RH receptor content 3 days after castration and inhibited the serum LH rise by 45%. By 6 days after castration, Gn-RH receptors had increased in the hyperprolactinaemic castrated animals but values were 33% lower than in sham-grafted controls, while the serum LH increase attenuated by 30%. Pituitary LH content was also lower in grafted castrated animals 6 days after castration. Hyperprolactinaemia for 3 weeks had no effect on Gn-RH receptors or pituitary LH content of intact male rats, although basal serum LH was decreased by 50%. Hyperprolactinaemia also attenuated the increases in Gn-RH receptors, serum LH and pituitary LH which occurred 6 days after ovariectomy in female rats. In all experiments the pituitary content of prolactin was reduced by 80-90% in animals bearing pituitary grafts. These results suggest that hyperprolactinaemia restricts the Gn-RH receptor response to gonadectomy by decreasing endogenous hypothalamic Gn-RH secretion.
