Prolactin injections begun several weeks after hypophysectomy in adult female rats markedly hastened the morphological regression of corpora lutea and significantly reduced ovarian weights. This luteolysis was first observed in rats pretreated with FSH and LH in dosages which were later proven insufficient for inducing ovulation. Subsequent experiments clearly demonstrated that pretreatment with the gonadotrophins did not in any way potentiate the luteolysis induced by prolactin. The degree of induced luteolysis was dependent on the prolactin dosage both in animals pretreated with gonadotrophins and in those receiving no pretreatment. The minimal dosage of prolactin found to induce significant luteolysis was 0.25 IU/day administered for 13 days. Prolonged treatment with FSH or LH did not result in luteolysis. Histologically the prolactin-induced luteolysis was characterized by an invasion of connective tissue elements from the periphery of the corporalutea. The first observable effect in the most recent g...
