Abstract

Male Wistar strain rats subcutaneously administered haloperidol at the dose of 0.035 mg/kg at 3-4 days interval, 10 times, in the avoidance situation. Enhancement of the prolactin-secreting effect of haloperidol was observed when it was given in the home cages at the 10th day after termination of the repeated administration. In these animals, 3H-spiperone binding sites in the pituitary significantly increased, while the DOPAC/DA ratio in the hypothalamus significantly decreased. The enhancement phenomenon may be produced by a decrease in the activity of dopamine neurons in the hypothalamus.
