Serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) prolactin (PRL) concentrations were determined in fourteen patients of both sexes suffering from hydrocephalus, in basal conditions and after i.m. administration of 10 mg metoclopramide or 10 mg morphine. A significant increase in both serum and CSF hormone values was found after administration of both drugs. Serum and CSF PRL values after metoclopramide administration increased earlier and to a greater extent than after morphine. Furthermore, the metoclopramide induced CSF PRL increase immediately followed the serum peak, whereas after morphine administration an evident delay in the CSF hormone peak with respect to the serum increase was found. These data suggest that PRL entry in the CSF compartment is subject to a controlling mechanism which acts at the blood/brain barrier.
