In vivo interaction of baclofen, TRH and serotonin on PRL and TSH secretion in the developing and adult male and female rats
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is involved in the neural control of hypophyseal hormones, including PRL and TSH. In the present work we investigated the ontogeny of the effect of baclofen, a GABA B agonist, on basal PRL and TSH release and in the presence of releasing stimulus which act at two diffe...
