title: The effect of reserpine on plasma LH concentrations in intact and gonadectomised domestic fowl.
abstract: Reserpine was found to inhibit the secretion of luteinising hormone when injected into intact and gonadectomised fowl at a dose rate which caused heavy sedation. This could indicate that reserpine or its derivatives should not be used for breeding poultry.
