Conclusions
-
1.
In androgen-sterile rats given 10–250 μ TP in the early postnatal perid, upon sexual maturation there was a decrease in hypothalamic LH-RF, in hypophyseal and blood LH, in ovarian weight and number of corpora lutea, and in blood testosterone and progesterone; there was an increase in the dopamine level of the anterior hypothalamus.
-
2.
Clomiphene administration for 5 days to androgen-sterile rats, particularly to rats given earlier 10 μ TP, Ied to a normalization of these indices and to the onset of ovulation.
-
3.
Short-term clomiphene administration to androgen-sterile rats (5 days), as well as prolonged administration (1 month), restored the capacity for pregnancy.
