Serum prolactin response to metoclopramide during status epilepticus.
Transient elevation of serum prolactin frequently follows generalised tonic-clonic and complex partial seizures. However, the levels of prolactin during status epilepticus are not increased above the normal range. Exhaustion of central prolactin supplies has been proposed as a possible mechanism for the absence of prolactin increase during status epilepticus. To test this hypothesis we injected...
متن کاملThe firing rate of neurons in the nucleus cuneiformis in response to formalin in male rat
Introduction: Although formalin-induced activity in primary afferent fibers and spinal dorsal horn is well described, the midbrain neural basis underlying each phase of behavior in formalin test has not been clarified. The present study was designed to investigate the nucleus cuneiformis (CnF) neuronal responses during two phases after subcutaneous injection of formalin into the hind paw...
متن کاملProstate response to prolactin in sexually active male rats
BACKGROUND The prostate is a key gland in the sexual physiology of male mammals. Its sensitivity to steroid hormones is widely known, but its response to prolactin is still poorly known. Previous studies have shown a correlation between sexual behaviour, prolactin release and prostate physiology. Thus, here we used the sexual behaviour of male rats as a model for studying this correlation. Henc...
متن کاملResponse of Diamond-Blackfan anemia to metoclopramide: evidence for a role for prolactin in erythropoiesis.
A 47-year-old woman with severe macrocytic anemia markedly improved during the second and third trimesters of 3 pregnancies and when breast-feeding her 2 children. Because the serum prolactin level is elevated at these times, we later treated her with metoclopramide (10 mg orally 3 times daily), a medication known to induce prolactin release. Her serum prolactin levels increased from 7 to 133 n...
متن کاملThe Effect of Metoclopramide on Prolactin Levels in Breastfeeding Mothers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Background: Exclusive breastfeeding is beneficial to not only infants, but also mothers. Since prolactin stimulates milk production, increasing its levels through dopamine antagonists, such as metoclopramide, may enhance milk production. However, the efficacy of this method should be further studied. Therefore, this systematic review sought to determine the effects of metoclopramide on prolacti...
