  • Title: Functional evaluation of prolactin secretion: a guide to therapy.
    Author: Friesen H, Guyda H, Hwang P, Tyson JE, Barbeau A.
    Journal: J Clin Invest; 1972 Mar; 51(3):706-9. PubMed ID: 4622109.
    Abstract:
    Stimulation and inhibition tests are proposed for evaluating prolactin secretion. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimulates the release of prolactin from the pituitary. Chlorpromazine acts presumably at the hypothalamic level to increase prolactin secretion. L-Dopa (D,L-alpha-hydrazino-alpha-methyl-beta-[3,4-di-hydroxyphenyl]) has the opposite effect; it inhibits prolactin secretion and may be effective in suppressing galactorrhea.
