1 Ganglionectomy resulted in a significant depression of the serum prolactin concentrations, as well as in impairment of the prolactin release evoked by administration of steroid. Steroids prolactin Rattus norvegicus
2 Injection of melatonin protentiated the steroid-induced release of prolactin in control rats; this effect of melatonin was not detected in ganglionectomized rats. Steroids prolactin Rattus norvegicus
3 Pinealectomy did not affect basal prolactin levels, nor impair the release of prolactin evoked by steroid treatment; however, it was effective in blocking the melatonin-induced release of prolactin in vehicle-treated rats, as well as the potentiation of steroid-induced prolactin release by melatonin. Steroids prolactin Rattus norvegicus
4 Pinealectomy did not affect basal prolactin levels, nor impair the release of prolactin evoked by steroid treatment; however, it was effective in blocking the melatonin-induced release of prolactin in vehicle-treated rats, as well as the potentiation of steroid-induced prolactin release by melatonin. Steroids prolactin Rattus norvegicus
5 Pinealectomy did not affect basal prolactin levels, nor impair the release of prolactin evoked by steroid treatment; however, it was effective in blocking the melatonin-induced release of prolactin in vehicle-treated rats, as well as the potentiation of steroid-induced prolactin release by melatonin. Steroids prolactin Rattus norvegicus
