Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An enkephalin analogue given intravenously to normal subjects raised serum prolactin and growth-hormone levels but lowered serum levels of luteinising hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, cortisol, and corticotrophin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies of the opiate control of prolactin, gh and tsh
TL;DR: The results suggest that opiate peptides are unlikely to play a major role in the tonic or hypoglycaemia‐stimulated release of prolactin and GH, although they may be of importance in the control of TSH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Management of the pregnant diabetic: home or hospital, with or without glucose meters?
TL;DR: The diabetic control achieved at home was not improved by the use of a meter or admission to hospital, and neither is essential for the good control of blood-glucose in all pregnant diabetics.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of lisuride hydrogen maleate, an ergot derivative on anterior pituitary hormone secretion in man.
TL;DR: The results suggest that lisuride acts as a long‐acting dopamine agonist and that therefore this drug could be of therapeutic use in hyperprolactinaemic states and acromegaly.
Journal ArticleDOI
The endocrine and metabolic effects of cimetidine
W. A. Stubbs,G. Delitala,G. M. Besser,C. R. W. Edwards,S. Labrooy,R. Taylor,J. J. Misiewicz,K. G. M. M. Alberti +7 more
TL;DR: The results show that oral cimetidine given at therapeutic doses to patients with peptic ulcers does not produce consistent changes in circulating anterior pituitary hormones.
