[3H]Dihydroergocryptine binding in anterior pituitary and prolactin secretion: Further evidence of brain regulation of adenohypophyseal receptors
Secretion of PRL by the pituitary gland is under tonic inhibitory control by tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic neurons. The aim of the present work was to assess the influence of the hypothalamus on the binding of [3H]dihydroergocryptine, a dopamine agonist, in the adenohypophysis and its role in the...
