Department of Pharmacology, University of Naples, Italy.

The organic Ca2+ entry blockers nimodipine, verapamil, flunarizine and diltiazem belong to different chemical classes but antagonized, at the concentrations of 1 and 10 microM, the inhibitory effect exerted by 1-10 microM dopamine on in vitro prolactin secretion from the pituitary gland. The results suggest a close functional interaction between Ca2+ entry blockers and the dopamine receptors involved in the inhibition of prolactin secretion.

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.
