Article Synopsis
- Infertility in female rats was linked to drugs that inhibit serotonin reuptake, which can lead to elevated levels of prolactin and cortisol.
- In a study, female rats were divided into eight groups to test the effects of meperidine, sertraline, and tianeptine on reproductive function over a 25-day period.
- Results showed that meperidine and sertraline increased prolactin levels and infertility rates, while tianeptine was found to inhibit these effects and may offer a treatment option for reproductive issues caused by serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
