Abstract: | Cyclo (His-Pro) (10 ng/ml), inhibits KCl (59 mM) or thyrotropin-releasing hormone (10 ng/ml) stimulated, but not basal, release of prolactin from rat hemipituitaries . However, cyclo (His-Pro) has no effect on the basal or stimulated release of thyrotropin and growth hormone. Cyclo (His-Pro) does not inhibit the binding of thyrotropin-releasing hormone to pituitary membrane suggesting that cyclo (His-Pro) inhibition of prolactin release is not mediated via the pituitary TRH-receptor. |
