摘要：

The efforts of the authors in the investigation of the role of monoamines in the control of gonadotrophin and prolactin secretion are reviewed with reference to other relevant studies. The approaches used in the authors investigations were varied. First the effects of monoamines on the release of hormones from pituitaries incubated in vitro and on the releasing factors from ventral hypothalamic fragments incubated in vitro were investigated. Secondly the effects of monoamines in vivo after intraventricular administration were studied. Finally the actions of drugs which selectively modify catecholamine and indoleamine synthesis in the hypothalamus were studied to analyze the effects of deficiency of excess of monoamines on gonadotrophin and prolactin release.
