Effects of growth hormone release-inhibiting hormone and bromocryptine (CB 154) in states of abnormal pituitary-adrenal function.

abstract：:A 39-year-old woman presented with amenorrhoea, hyperprolactinaemia and sellar mass. Bromocriptine normalized PRL levels but failed to suppress tumour growth. Subsequently, she developed clinical signs and elevated blood cortisol levels consistent with a diagnosis of Cushing's disease. A pituitary tumour was removed w...
