Abstract
Determination of the effect of prolactin administration on glucose, non-esterified fatty acids, insulin, and liver glycogen concentrations in male rabbit was the aim of the present investigation. Thin sections of livers and testes were also examined microscopically. The results suggested that prolactin administration produced a state of prolactin over secretion. The level of serum glucose showed a significant increase without any significant change in insulin activity. Non-esterified fatty acid level increased in serum while liver glycogen decreased. The histological observations revealed that prolactin administration exerts a degenerative changes in both livers and testes.
