Abstract: | Intramuscular administration of metachlopromide (2.5, 5, and 10 mg) induced a dose-dependent increase in plasma prolactin levels. The magnitude and duration of metachlopromide-induced hyperprolactinemia were also dose related. However, metachlopromide treatment (5 mg/day) for 60 days failed to affect ovarian function in the common marmoset as evidenced by ovulatory plasma estradiol and progesterone profiles. During the pretreatment cycle, there was no consistent pattern in plasma prolactin levels depending on the stage of cycle. During lactation, higher levels of plasma prolactin were observed. |
