Abstract:This study was designed to test the hypothesis that genistein, a phytoestrogen, could immediately affect prolactin (PRL) and luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion in ovariectomized (OVX) ewes, when infused directly into the central nervous system (CNS) during short days. Starting 6 weeks after OVX, ewes were infused intracerebroventricularly (ICV) with a vehicle (control, n=5) or genistein (10 μg/100 μl/h, n=5). All infusions were performed from 12.00 to 16.00 h and blood samples were collected from 8.00 to 20.00… Show more
