Inhibition of prolactin release by metergoline administration in man. 1977

G Delitala, and A Masala, and S Alagna, and L Devilla, and P P Rovasio

Oral administration of metergoline, an antiserotoninergic agent, produced a fall in plasma prolactin concentrations in normal subjects. Prolactin values remained suppressed during a five day course of treatment with the drug. Serum growth hormone values were not altered significantly.

D008711 Metergoline A dopamine agonist and serotonin antagonist. It has been used similarly to BROMOCRIPTINE as a dopamine agonist and also for MIGRAINE DISORDERS therapy. Methergoline,Liserdol
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.
