Effects of monoamines or its precursors on the induction of persistent estrus by testosterone propionate (T.P.) were studied in Wistar strain female rats. Daily treatment with 5-hydroxytryptophane (5-HTP) for the first 10 days of life delayed the occurrence of persistent estrus in rats given T.P. at 4 days of age. The onset of persistent estrus occurred in this group of animals at 67.1+/-2.5 days of age compared with 45.1+/-1.4 days of age for the saline treated control group. The role of hypothalamic monoamines in contributing to the induction of persistent estrus by T.P. treatment of neonatal rats is discussed.
