Prostaglandin F2 alpha stimulates vasopressin and oxytocin release from isolated rat neurointermediate lobe.
Prostaglandin F2 alpha (1.4 X 10(-7) - 1.4 X 10(-5) M) increases vasopressin and oxytocin release from isolated rat neurointermediate lobes. Prostaglandin F2 alpha may be therefore supposed to serve as a modulatory factor for the vasopressin and oxytocin release, the respective processes being localized, at least in part, in the neurohypophysis.
