Naloxone effects on serum growth hormone and prolactin in man. 1979

D Janowsky, and L Judd, and L Huey, and N Roitman, and D Parker

Endogenous and exogenous opiate-like compounds have been found to cause increased serum growth hormone and prolactin levels in animals, and, in some cases, humans. Naloxone, a relatively specific narcotic antagonist, decreases serum prolactin and growth hormone levels in animals. Naloxone (20 mg IV) did not significantly alter serum prolactin levels and, minimally but not significantly, increased growth hormone levels in humans to whom it was administered.

D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.
