The effects of blinding and constant light exposure for 5 weeks on serum concentrations of prolactin were studied in male rats. Neither treatment had any effect on body, pineal, pituitary, testis, or seminal vesicle weights. Serum prolactin was not significantly altered by constant light exposure, but was significantly elevated by blinding. These data provide further support that prolactin secretion is elevated by blinding. It is suggested that prolactin may be partially responsible for the lack of significant gonadal atrophy following blinding in male rats.
研究了对雄性大鼠进行5周的致盲和持续光照对血清催乳素浓度的影响。两种处理对体重、松果体、垂体、睾丸或精囊重量均无影响。持续光照未显著改变血清催乳素水平，但致盲使其显著升高。这些数据进一步支持了致盲会升高催乳素分泌的观点。有人提出，催乳素可能部分导致了雄性大鼠致盲后性腺无明显萎缩。
