Text-mined interactions from Literome
Rodríguez de Fonseca et al., Brain Res 1999
:
Effects of
delta9-THC on VIP induced
prolactin secretion in anterior pituitary cultures : evidence for the presence of functional cannabinoid CB1 receptors in pituitary cells ... In the present study the possible direct
effect of the cannabinoid receptor agonist
delta9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on
prolactin secretion and cAMP accumulation was examined in anterior pituitary cultures ...
THC ( 0.1 and 1 microM ) increased cAMP levels, and
induced PRL release ( 1 and 10 mu ) ... However,
THC did
prevent VIP dependent increases in
prolactin secretion
Rodríguez De Fonseca et al., Pharmacol Biochem Behav 1992
:
This inhibitory
effect of
THC on
PRL release was accompanied by a decreased DOPAC/DA ratio in medial basal hypothalamus that, in turn, may be a result of the fall in PRL levels rather than a direct action of the drug
Murphy et al., Pharmacol Biochem Behav 1991
:
Whereas THC ( 1 microM ) alone had no effect on prolactin levels when compared to controls,
THC completely
prevented the E-induced increase in media
prolactin levels
Steger et al., Neuroendocrinology 1983
:
Interactions of delta
9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) with hypothalamic neurotransmitters
controlling luteinizing hormone and
prolactin release ...
THC had no effect on basal LH levels, but it
inhibited basal
PRL levels and blocked the surges of both LH and PRL
Steger et al., Fertil Steril 1981
:
THC ( 10 mg/kg )
attenuated serum LH and
prolactin levels
Hughes et al., Endocrinology 1981
:
The
effects of ( -- ) trans-delta
9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on tonic
PRL secretion were investigated in long term ovariectomized or hypophysectomized/pituitary autografted female rats and in flask incubations of anterior pituitary tissue
Kumar et al., Subst Alcohol Actions Misuse 1983
:
These results suggest that the inhibitory
effects of delta
9-THC on serum LH and the stimulatory effect of the cannabinoid on
Prl are mediated by an opioid mechanism
Bromley et al., Endocr Res Commun 1978
:
To study
effects of
delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on the regulation of
prolactin (PRL) release, a chronic cannula was placed in the right atrium of postpartum lactating rats ... These findings indicate that
THC inhibits suckling induced
PRL release in the postpartum rat
Fernández-Ruiz et al., Biochem Pharmacol 1997
:
Interestingly, the time course of the effect of delta9-THC resembled that of AEA and AM356 only during the later part of the response, because
delta9-THC produced a marked
increase in plasma
PRL levels at 20 min, no changes at 40 min and a decrease from 60 min up to 180 min
