title: [Dopamine and pituitary hormones. Physiology and pathology (author's transl)].
abstract: Dopamine regulates the secretion of pituitary hormones: it inhibits permanently the production of prolactin and blocks the gonadotrophins and the thyroid-stimulating hormone. It stimulates inconstantly the secretion of growth hormone and it does not control corticotropin. Dopamine agonists and antagonists are currently used in the investigation and the treatment of hyper-prolactinemia and acromegaly.
