The use of pimozide to potentialize the effects of lhrh-a on pituitary gonadotropin-secretion - ovulation and spermiation in common carp (cyprinus-carpio)
Potentialisation par le pimozide des effets du LHRH-A sur la secretion gonadotrope hypophysaire, l'ovulation et la spermation chez la carpe commune (Cyprinus carpio)
Résumé
During the reproductive season in August, we administered to adult male and female Carp an LHRH analog (LHRH-A = D-trp6EA-LHRH) (50 micrograms/kg) alone or in association with pimozide, a dopamine inhibitor (10 mg/kg). LHRH-A caused the circulating portal level of gonadotropin to rise significantly in males and less in females. Spermiation was stimulated in the males and oocyte maturation in females but there was no ovulation. An infection of pimozide and then of LHRH-A 6 h later significantly increased c-GTH secretion and spermiation more than LHRH-A given alone, and induced ovulation in the females.
