Background An endogenous dopaminergic (DA) tone acting on D 3 receptors has been
shown to inhibit tuberoinfundibular (TI) DA neuron activity and stimulate prolactin (PRL) …

The diurnal rhythm of tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic (TIDA) neuron activity, ie, high in the
morning and low in the afternoon, is prerequisite for the afternoon prolactin (PRL) surge in …

Dopamine (DA) is the primary inhibitor of prolactin (PRL) secretion. Three populations of
neuroendocrine dopaminergic neurons (NDNs) designated tuberoinfundibular (TIDA) …

A diurnal change of tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic (TIDA) neuronal activity exists in
female rats, which is prerequisite for the estrogen-induced afternoon PRL surge. Because …

Abstract Dopamine D2 receptors (D2‐Rs) in the central nervous system are involved in the
control of locomotion, cognition, emotion and neuroendocrine secretion. The intensity of …

Prolactin (PRL) secretion is inhibited by dopamine (DA) released from hypothalamic
neuroendocrine neurons designated tuberoinfundibular (TIDA), tuberohypophyseal (THDA) …

Variations of serum prolactin (PRL) levels and activities of tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic
(TIDA) neurons during the afternoon of ovariectomized (OVX) rats treated with or without …

We have used the technique of quantitative in situ hybridization in order to study the
changes in the levels of expression of D 2 receptor mRNA in the anterior pituitary gland of …

We have explored temporal changes in the magnitude of dopamine (DA) interaction (DA
tone) at the anterior pituitary lactotrophs related to both the nocturnal and diurnal prolactin …

Reproductive experience (ie pregnancy and lactation) leads to reduced levels of circulating
prolactin in both women and rats. Stimulation of prolactin secretion by dopamine antagonists …
