The acute effect of 2-bromo-a-ergocryptine (CB-154) on anterior pituitary hormones and free fatty acids in man

Abstract

CB-154 was administered to six healthy subjects in three different single doses - 1 mg, 2,5 mg, and 3 mg. Growth hormone, prolactin, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, cortisol, blood sugar and free fatty acids were determined. 2.5 and 3 mg doses of CB-154 induced a significant rise in growth hormone and free fatty acids, while prolactin decreased. In addition, CB-154 prevented the circadian fall of plasma cortisol. There were no changes in follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone or blood sugar levels.
