Changes in serum titres of prolactin, somatotropin and thyrotropin induced by fenfluramine in humans.
An increase of serum titres of prolactin was observed upon acute and chronic administration of fenfluramine. In acute treatment also STH levels were enhanced. No changes were observed in TSH titres. The authors relate the endocrine effect to serotonin turnover stimulation in central nervous system.
