ABSTRACT
The effects of phenobarbitone on gonadotrophs and lactotrophs of pituitary gland were studied in male albino mice which were administered phenobarbitone 50 mg/kg body weight intraperitoneally (ip) daily for 14 days. A group of control mice were administered saline ip. In the experimental group, there was significant reduction in the average cell population of FSH cells in the cephalomedian area (P < 0.001) and in the lateral lobe (P < 0.01). The average volume of both FSH and LH cells was also significantly reduced (P < 0.001). The changes in the gonadotrophs of the experimental group could be attributed to the negative feedback action of testosterone which is being secreted from hypertrophied Leydig cells of testis.
