The prolactin (PRL) responses to intramuscular haloperidol (HPD) (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mg) were evaluated in six normal premenopausal women during the follicular and luteal phases of their menstrual cycles. These were compared to the PRL responses to these doses of HPD in normal young men. PRL responses to HPD did not differ between the follicular and luteal phases. The mean log-transformed PRL response to the lowest HPD dose (0.5 mg) in women was less than that in the men, but the women had greater PRL responses than the men to the higher haloperidol doses (1.0 mg and 1.5 mg).

D008597 Menstrual Cycle The period from onset of one menstrual bleeding (MENSTRUATION) to the next in an ovulating woman or female primate. The menstrual cycle is regulated by endocrine interactions of the HYPOTHALAMUS; the PITUITARY GLAND; the ovaries; and the genital tract. The menstrual cycle is divided by OVULATION into two phases. Based on the endocrine status of the OVARY, there is a FOLLICULAR PHASE and a LUTEAL PHASE. Based on the response in the ENDOMETRIUM, the menstrual cycle is divided into a proliferative and a secretory phase.

D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.
