Abstract

This study investigated the mechanisms which may underly the prolactin (PRL) stimulating effects of FK 33-824, a potent enkephalin analogue. FK 33-824 (1 mg) was infused in healthy volunteers before and after pretreatment with 3 mg methysergide, a serotonin receptor blocker. All subjects showed a release of PRL after FK 33-824, which was significantly diminished after pretreatment with methysergide.
