title: [Neuroendocrine effects of a sodium valproate and diazepam combination in the male rat].
abstract: The effects of chronic administration of sodium valproate (200 mg/Kg/d i.p.) and diazepam (5 mg/Kg/d i.m.) alone or in association on the plasma levels of the pituitary hormones (prolactin, FSH and LH) were studied in the m ale rat. Sodium valproate increases prolactin plasma levels. This effect is antagonized by diazepam. Both molecules do not affect FSH levels, whereas they increase LH levels when given alone or in association. This pharmacological data state precisely the hypothalamohypophysiotropic effects of valproate and diazepam during its association.
