Abstract:We undertook this study, because conflicting data were reported about the dopaminergic regulation of prolactin (PRL) secretion in patients with acromegaly and hyperprolactinemia. In order to clarify the dopaminergic regulation of PRL secretion in patients with acromegaly and hyperprolactinemia, the effects of nomifensine, a central dopamine agonist, FK 33-824, a centrally antidopaminergically acting agent, and domperidone, a peripheral dopamine antagonist, on plasma PRL in these patients were studied. The resu… Show more
