Title: DOPAMINE INFUSION ACUTELY INHIBITS THE TSH AND PROLACTIN RESPONSE TO TRH

After a period of at least one week, the TRH test was repeated while the patients were receiving a dopamine infusion. Both the TSH and prolactin response to TRH were inhibited by dopamine. Dopaminergic neurons may act through the pituitary-portal system to play a role in the regulation of TSH and prolactin secretion.Read More
