In anestrous mares given estradiol benzoate and sulpiride, prolactin responses tended to be greater with Kp10 than with saline (P = .09).
In plain wordsIn mares, prolactin tended to rise more with kisspeptin‑10 than with saline, but the difference was not statistically significant.

Abstract The objective of this study was to determine if incorporation of kisspeptin 10 (Kp10) into an estradiol benzoate (EB)-sulpiride treatment would result in greater endocrine responses, and a greater number of mares ovulating within 28 days of treatment compared to EB-sulpiride alone.
On day 1, mini osmotic pumps containing saline (n = 9) or Kp10 (50 mg/hour; n = 9) were inserted subcutaneously in the neck and remained for 7 days.
