Effects of dopaminergic receptor stimulation and opioid receptor blockade on GH incretion: preliminary findings.
The Authors describe the effects of CB 154 (2.5 mg, per os) and naloxone (0.4 mg, i.m) on GH levels in normal man serum. Preliminary results point to a clear potentiation of GH release when the opiate receptor blockade is added to a dopamine receptor stimulation.
