The effect of varying concentrations of ergometrine maleate on the pituitary prolactin of the lizard, Uromastix hardwickii.
Present study deals with the effect of ergometrine maleate on prolactin (PRL) of Uromastix pituitaries. Administration of 0.02, 0.04 and 0.06 mg/day/animal ergometrine maleate for 3 days to individuals of 3 respective groups resulted in decreased pigeon crop-sac diametric response. Intramuscularly treated pituitaries showed more PRL inhibition than the pituitaries of animals treated intravenously.
