  • Title: [Endocrine effect of L-DOPA in treating the amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome].
    Author: Koreneva GP, Shikaeva FV.
    Journal: Probl Endokrinol (Mosk); 1980; 26(6):25-8. PubMed ID: 7192862.
    Abstract:
    L-DOPA effect on the level of dopamine, hypophyseal luteinizing hormone and total estrogen excretion was studied in the treatment of patients with the amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome. The data obtained show positive L-DOPA effect on hypothalamic-hypophyseal-ovarian relationships in the majority of patients that makes it useful in therapeutic practice. The short-term course of L-DOPA administration combined with systematic studies of dopamine and hypophyseal luteinizing hormone excretion may be recommended as a functional test for differential diagnosis of central menstrual dysfunction.
