Binding of 3H-Sertoli cell factor to rat anterior pituitary in vitro.

abstract：:Two surges of PRL designated as nocturnal (N) and diurnal (D) are observed during early pregnancy. The present study was undertaken to determine the involvement of serotonin (5-HT) in regulating these PRL surges. On day 7 of pregnancy intracarotid catheters were implanted, and blood samples were obtained at 0200 and 0...
