Functional evaluation of prolactin secretion: a guide to therapy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stimulation and inhibition tests are proposed for evaluating prolactin secretion. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimulates the release of prolactin from the pituitary. Chlorpromazine acts presumably at the hypothalamic level to increase prolactin secretion. L-Dopa (D,L-alpha-hydrazino-alpha-methyl-beta-[3,4-di-hydroxyphenyl]) has the opposite effect; it inhibits prolactin secretion and may be effective in suppressing galactorrhea.

متن کاملPectic Acid Effects on Prolactin Secretion in GH3/B6 Rat Pituitary Cell Line
Background: Pectic acid extracted from plants increases the secretion of prolactin (PRL) when injected intravenously into ewes or fed to rats. Fragments of ewe hypophysis and lactating rabbit mammary gland incubated in vitro in the presence of pectic acid secreted more PRL and caseins compared to the controls. However, it is not known whether pectic acid directly stimulates PRL secretion in pi...
متن کاملThe Effect of Bromocriptine on the Secretion of Hypophysial Thyroidal Hormonal Axis
Thyrotropine secretion in human beings is under the influence of various factors. The effect of the hormones, triiodothyronine, thyroxine, somatostatin and thyroid-stimulating hormone has been well known. In this study the direct effect of stimulation of the dopaminergic system by bromocriptine on the thyrotropine secretion was investigated. In this study twenty women with hyperprolactinemia r...
