A single injection of LSD (25, 50, or 100 μg per 100 g of body weight) given to female rats on the morning of proestrus significantly lowered serum prolactin levels and blocked the normal afternoon rise seen in control rats. The highest dose produced a greater decrease than the lowest dose. This effect is similar to that of other ergot drugs.
