No evidence for prolactin’s involvement in the post-ejaculatory refractory period
Valente et al. compared two different strains of mouse that differ in sexual performance. They found that prolactin is released during sexual behaviour—however pharmacological manipulation of prolactin demonstrated that it is not a determinant of sexual activity or refractory period.
