Conclusion

  1. 1.

    DA is involved in the control of the ovulatory release of LH and acts in the ARC-ME.

  2. 2.

    The effects of DA on the gonadotropic function are determined by the levels of circulating estrogens in the blood. The maximum response is recorded in the second half of the diestrus-2 stage.
