The effects of jugular infusions of adrenalin and the beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist propranolol on plasma concentrations of progesterone and oxytocin were examined at 2 different stages of the caprine estrous cycle. Adrenalin (25 micrograms.kg-1h-1) significantly (P < 0.05) increased oxytocin secretion on Day 3 and Day 10 of the cycle (estrus = Day 0); progesterone concentrations were significantly (P < 0.05) elevated on Day 10 alone. Propranolol had no effect on progesterone secretion yet significantly (P < 0.05) reduced oxytocin concentrations on Day 3. These results suggest that there may be neuroendocrine involvement in the regulation of luteal oxytocin secretion in the goat.
