The effects of vitamin E-deficiency on serum prolactin and serum luteinising hormone levels in the pregnant rat.
No significant differences were observed between the serum prolactin or serum LH levels of vitamin E-deficient or vitamin E-replete rats during the first 12 days of gestation. It is suggested that pituitary dysfunction is not the cause of the characteristic foetal resorption observed in vitamin E-deficient rats.
