Bromocriptine-induced dissociation of hyperglycemia and prolactin response to restraint

The present study investigated the effects of immobilization (restraint stress) on rat chronically treated with a D 2 receptor agonist (bromocriptine, 0.4 mg/100 g body weight, injected daily intraperitoneally (ip) for 2 weeks) on plasma glucose, prolactin, and insulin levels. During restraint, the...

Zusammenfassung:The present study investigated the effects of immobilization (restraint stress) on rat chronically treated with a D 2 receptor agonist (bromocriptine, 0.4 mg/100 g body weight, injected daily intraperitoneally (ip) for 2 weeks) on plasma glucose, prolactin, and insulin levels. During restraint, the plasma prolactin of vehicle-treated (VEH) rats increased rapidly, reaching a peak at 10 min (57.9±8.1 ng/ml, P
