Elevation of plasma-prolactin by monoamine-oxidase inhibitors

S L Slater et al. Lancet. .

Abstract

Plasma-prolactin levels doubled in depressive patients treated with the monoamine-oxidase inhibitors, clorgyline and pargyline. The absence of significant changes in plasma-cortisol in the same patients suggests that the increases in prolactin are not attributable to non-specific effects of stress.
