title: Lithium enhancement of the prolactin response to 5-hydroxytryptophan is not reversible by inositol.
abstract: 1. Two hundred male albino Sprague-Dawley rats were studied for the lithium and/or inositol effect on 5-HTP induced prolactin release. 2. Lithium demonstrated a clear augmentation of 5-HTP induced prolactin levels, however no effect of inositol was demonstrated on lithium augmentation of 5-HTP induced prolactin release.
