Abstract

Normal male rat hemipituitaries incubated in the presence of 1 μg of arginine vasotocin (AVT) released significantly more prolactin into the incubation medium than their corresponding untreated control halves. Prolactin secretion from hemipituitaries incubated in the presence of 5·10^-9 haloperidol, 4·10^-5 M propranolol or haloperidol plus AVT was unaffected by these treatments. However, the release of prolactin from hemipituitaries incubated with propranolol plus AVT was significantly inhibited (by 40%) compared with the control glands treated with AVT alone.
