摘要
The effect of oxytocin (OT) on growth hormone (GH) secretion was investigated using dispersed rat anterior pituitary cells. OT dose-dependently inhibited GH secretion as well as GHRH-stimulated GH release. The inhibitory actions of OT on GH release were totally abolished by pretreatment with the OT-antagonist VAP 259. The peptides galanin and cholecystokinin did not affect the OT-induced inhibition on basal or GHRH-stimulated GH release. Several possible mechanisms by which OT may influence GH release are discussed.
