Effect of choline on central dopaminergic function in normal subjects. 1981

S Lal, and P Etienne, and J Thavundayil, and N P Nair, and B Collier, and R Rastogi, and H Guyda, and G Schwartz

Oral administration of choline (10 g) had no effect on basal serum growth hormone or prolactin concentrations in normal subjects (N = 5). Choline significantly enhanced the increase in growth hormone secretion induced by apomorphine HCl (0.5 mg s.c.). These data suggest that cholinergic mechanisms may enhance hypothalamic-pituitary dopaminergic function in man in contrast to their inhibitory effect on dopaminergic function in the basal ganglia.

D007030 Hypothalamo-Hypophyseal System A collection of NEURONS, tracts of NERVE FIBERS, endocrine tissue, and blood vessels in the HYPOTHALAMUS and the PITUITARY GLAND. This hypothalamo-hypophyseal portal circulation provides the mechanism for hypothalamic neuroendocrine (HYPOTHALAMIC HORMONES) regulation of pituitary function and the release of various PITUITARY HORMONES into the systemic circulation to maintain HOMEOSTASIS.

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.

D001058 Apomorphine A derivative of morphine that is a dopamine D2 agonist. It is a powerful emetic and has been used for that effect in acute poisoning. It has also been used in the diagnosis and treatment of parkinsonism, but its adverse effects limit its use.
