“…The results indicate that although one ECS did not produce a significant delay in the onset of estrus, five ECS treatments did. These fmdings are consistent with those of Jensen and Stainbrook (1949), Milner et al (1978), and Milner and Green (1980), who reported that five ECS treatments disrupt the reproductive cycle, although one does not.…”

“…In a more recent series of studies (Green, Seaton, Williams, & Milner, 1981;Milner, Gilbert, & Prewett, 1978;Milner & Green, 1980), multiple ECS treatments were observed to delay estrus in the rat. More specifically, although lor 2 ECS treatments were not found to disrupt the estrous cycle, arrays of 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, and 20 ECS treatments were found to delay estrous onset.…”

The effects of methohexital, succinylcholine, and electroconvulsive shock (ECS) on the estrous cycle were investigated. Eighty-eight rats, chosen on the basis of estrous stability, were selected from a subject pool of 106 animals and were randomly assigned to one of eight treatment conditions, with the restriction that each condition contain 11 animals. Treatments were as follows: one ECS, five ECSs, one ECS with methohexital and succinylcholine, five ECSs with methohexital and succinylcholine, one sham ECS (SECS), five SECSs, one SECS with methohexital and succinylcholine, and five SECSs with methohexital and succinylcholine. Consistent with preVIous reports, the five-, but not the one-, :BeS treatment produced a significant delay in estrus. However, the data indicated that when five ECS treatments were given to rats that had received methohexital and succinylcholine, no significant delay in estrus was observed. No estrous delays were observed following any of the remaining treatments, nor were additional delays observed after cycling began in the five-ECS treatment conditions.

“…The observation by Milner et al (1978) and Milner and Green (1980) that five ECS treatments significantly delay the onset of estrus was supported by the present data. The data also indicate that increasing the number of ECS treatments to 20 will produce a further delay in the onset of estrus.…”

“…No additional delays in estrus were observed once estrus resumed. Milner, Gilbert, and Prewett (1978) report that multiple electroconvulsive shocks (ECSs) disrupt the reproductive cycle in rats. Specifically, they found that while one ECS treatment does not affect estrus, five ECS treatments significantly delay the onset of estrus.…”
