Abstract
Oral administration of choline (10 g) had no effect on basal serum growth hormone or prolactin concentrations in normal subjects (N = 5). Choline significantly enhanced the increase in growth hormone secretion induced by apomorphine HCl (0.5 mg s.c.). These data suggest that cholinergic mechanisms may enhance hypothalamic-pituitary dopaminergic function in man in contrast to their inhibitory effect on dopaminergic function in the basal ganglia.Entities:
