[Reflex factors that modify the effect of p-chlorophenylalanine on ovulation and reproduction in rats (author's transl)].
The appearance of reflex ovulation in rats under the influence of the copulation, has been studied. Evaluation of insemination, fecundation, number of embryos, ovarian cycle and ovulation in several groups of rats treated with doses of p-CPA (300 mg/Kg, i.p.), have been made. The application of p-CPA 48 hours before the estrus phase, inhibits the ovulation. This increases significantly through copulation. Reproduction is totally inhibited by p-CPA in animals under copulation conditions during 24 hours of the estrus phase. The inhibition is desappears if placed under copulation conditions during a full cycle. Inseminated rats had a 33% decrease in number of embryos with respect to the control group. The application op-CPA 24 hours before the estrus phase does not produce any inhibition effect. The decrease observed in the number of embryos is non-significant. When p-CPA is applied, instead, 48 hours before the estrus phase, there is total inhibition of the reproductive conduct.
