Effect of long-term pinealectomy on serum LH levels and on cerebral serotonin metabolism in adult male rats
1987
: Two months after pinealectomy carried out in adult male rats previously exposed to a long photoperiod (L:D 14:10) during 10 weeks, the weight of seminal vesicles significantly increased in comparison with Sham-operated animals. Nevertheless, the weights of testes and ventral prostate did not change significantly. The serum LH concentration increased significantly by pinealectomy. The levels of serotonin and 5-hydroxiindolacetic acid significantly decreased in the hypothalamus and midbrain after pinealectomy.
