Effects of bombesin on pancreatic digestive enzyme gene expression.

abstract：:Dopamine D2 receptor agonists are commonly used in the control of PRL-secreting adenomas, and the sensitivity of dopamine agonists during long term therapy is exquisite. However, the molecular mechanisms responsible for the maintenance of this cellular sensitivity to dopamine agonists remain poorly understood. In the ...
