Anterior pituitary estradiol receptors associated with the reinstatement of ovulatory cycles after lactation interruption in the rat
The participation of adenohypophyseal estradiol receptors in the reinstatement of ovulatory cycles after lactation interruption was investigated. In rats whose pups were removed on day 13 postpartum (LRX), prolactin levels fell as from 1600 h on the same day, estradiol peaked on the morning of day 1...

The participation of adenohypophyseal estradiol receptors in the reinstatement of ovulatory cycles after lactation interruption was investigated.
