Diazapam: Endocrine effects and hypothalamic binding sites in the developing male and female rat
The ontogeny of diazepam's endocrine effects in male and female rats, and of 3H-diazepam binding in the hypothalami of both sexes was studied. Diazepam inhibited basal prolactin levels in 38 day-old male rats and, if prolactin levels were stimulated by Haloperidol the inhibition occurred in 28...
