Effect of apomorphine on serum prolactin level in the male.
Apomorphine (5 mg/kg) caused a marked lowering of serum prolactin in male rats. The apomorphine effect was reversible and could be shown without previously elevating the prolactin levels as has been customary in previous experiments. Repeated sampling of tail-vein blood without use of anesthesia was feasible and perhaps perferable to single sampling by decapitation.
