title: Interactions between exogenous luteinizing hormone (hCG), prolactin and prostaglandin F2 alpha on serum enzymes in the rat.
abstract: The effect of exogenous luteinizing hormone (hCG), prolactin and prostaglandin F2 alpha, separately or in combination, on the activities of alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase in rat serum was studied. The changes of enzyme activities varied with the different hormones. Luteinizing hormone hCG and prolactin acted synergistically or antagonistically, depending on the enzyme response. Prostaglandin F2 alpha did not seem to modulate the effect of luteinizing hormone (hCG).
