Effect of prolactin on adrenocortical and gonadal function in normal men

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHA), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHAS), androstenedione (A), testosterone (T), estrone (E1), estradiol (E2) and gonadotropins were measured in 3 normal adult men before and after administration of 50 mg ovine prolactin for 5 days. No significant change as a result of ovine prolactin administration was observed in any of the parameters examined.
