[VIP removes the inhibition of prolactin secretion induced by dopamine in patients with prolactinoma]. 1983

D Tater, and G Charpentier, and G Besson, and G Rosselin, and J P Bercovici

PRL responsitivity after Vaso-active intestinal Peptide (VIP) infusion was studied during a Dopamine (DA) infusion, in normal women and women with a prolactinoma. VIP alone (6.2 micrograms/min., 12 min.) increases PRL in normal females, but does not remove DA-induced PRL-decrease (1 microgram X kg X X min.-1). It has no effect in women with prolactinoma. In these women, PRL increases when VIP is administered at the 200th minute of DA infusion (1 microgram X kg/min.). A PRL release by VIP in women with a prolactinoma, could imply the restitution of a DA inhibitory control. The same dose of VIP does not modify PRL, when administered during a 4 microgram X kg/min. infusion of DA, in women with a prolactinoma.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010911 Pituitary Neoplasms Neoplasms which arise from or metastasize to the PITUITARY GLAND. The majority of pituitary neoplasms are adenomas, which are divided into non-secreting and secreting forms. Hormone producing forms are further classified by the type of hormone they secrete. Pituitary adenomas may also be characterized by their staining properties (see ADENOMA, BASOPHIL; ADENOMA, ACIDOPHIL; and ADENOMA, CHROMOPHOBE). Pituitary tumors may compress adjacent structures, including the HYPOTHALAMUS, several CRANIAL NERVES, and the OPTIC CHIASM. Chiasmal compression may result in bitemporal HEMIANOPSIA.

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.

D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.

D014660 Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide A highly basic, 28 amino acid neuropeptide released from intestinal mucosa. It has a wide range of biological actions affecting the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and respiratory systems and is neuroprotective. It binds special receptors (RECEPTORS, VASOACTIVE INTESTINAL PEPTIDE).
