To determine whether GnRH modifies prolactin (PRL) secretion in response to thyrotrophin-releasing hormone (TRH) in normal women, a group of eleven normal women, 23 to 40 years of age, was studied in the mid-follicular phase of the menstrual cycle. The PRL response to TRH was evaluated in serum under control conditions and after GnRH infusion. GnRH administration augmented basal PRL release and amplified TRH-induced PRL release. These results suggest that GnRH may be involved in PRL release, partly by increasing the sensitivity of the lactotrophs to TRH.
