- Abstract
Male volunteers were administered 100 μg thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) intravenously during control (saline) and drug (epinephrine-propranolol) infusions. There were no differences in the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) or prolactin responses to TRH during the epinephrine-propranolol infusion periods. There were no significant differences in growth hormone (GH) responses to epinephrine-propranolol infusions. Epinephrine-propranolol had no detectable effect on basal TSH, prolactin and GH concentrations. We conclude that the α-adrenergic system does not play any role at the pituitary level in modulating the effect of TRH-stimulated TSH or prolactin secretion in male volunteers. Copyright © 1979 S.
