Influence of dopamine infusion on plasma prolactin released by kidney capsule transplanted anterior pituitaries.
The infusion of dopamine into the renal artery resulted in decreased prolactin release from 3 anterior pituitary glands transplanted under the kidney capsule. Prolactin levels continually decreased over a 5 min period after DA infusion was terminated and thereafter approached preinfusion levels by the end of 10 min.
