Bromocriptine reduces the size of cells in prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas

A M Landolt et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

The morphometric analysis of the size of adenomatous prolactin cells shows that bromocriptine-induced cell shrinkage halts if treatment with the drug is discontinued for more than 2 days. Different cell components (nucleus, cytoplasm, nucleolus) do not react to treatment to the same extent.
