title: Abnormal prolactin response to haloperidol challenge in men with schizophrenia.
abstract: Fourteen drug-free male patients with schizophrenia had a smaller and slower prolactin response to 0.5 mg of intravenous haloperidol than 14 normal age- and sex-matched control subjects. This finding supports the presence of dopaminergic dysfunction in schizophrenia.
