1 | The administration of l-dopa suppresses prolactin (PRL) secretion in normal subjects and in patients with hyperprolactinemia, although it is not known whether this effect, which requires the conversion of dopa to dopamine, is mediated peripherally or through the central nervous system. | Levodopa | prolactin | Homo sapiens |
2 | The administration of l-dopa suppresses prolactin (PRL) secretion in normal subjects and in patients with hyperprolactinemia, although it is not known whether this effect, which requires the conversion of dopa to dopamine, is mediated peripherally or through the central nervous system. | Levodopa | prolactin | Homo sapiens |
3 | Similar degrees of PRL suppression were observed in normal subjects (basal plasma PRL 13+/-2 ng/ml) after l-dopa alone (48+/-4%) and after l-dopa plus carbidopa (58+/-6%). | Levodopa | prolactin | Homo sapiens |
4 | Similar degrees of PRL suppression were observed in normal subjects (basal plasma PRL 13+/-2 ng/ml) after l-dopa alone (48+/-4%) and after l-dopa plus carbidopa (58+/-6%). | Levodopa | prolactin | Homo sapiens |
5 | In patients with pituitary tumors and elevated plasma PRL (73+/-14 ng/ml), l-dopa alone led to PRL suppression comparable with that in normal subjects (47+/-6%). | Levodopa | prolactin | Homo sapiens |
6 | In patients with pituitary tumors and elevated plasma PRL (73+/-14 ng/ml), l-dopa alone led to PRL suppression comparable with that in normal subjects (47+/-6%). | Levodopa | prolactin | Homo sapiens |
7 | However, l-dopa plus carbidopa resulted in only minimal suppression of plasma PRL (19+/-4%) which was significantly less than after l-dopa alone (P < 0.001). | Levodopa | prolactin | Homo sapiens |
