β¦ Synopsis
Endogenous and exogenous opiate-like compounds have been found to cause increased serum growth hormone and prolactin levels in animals, and, in some cases, humans.

Naloxone (20 mg IV) did not significantly alter serum prolactin levels and, minimally but not significantly, increased growth hormone levels in humans to whom it was administered.

8 mg of naloxone were administered IV to 14 normal volunteers in a placebo-controlled, double-blind experiment. Plasma levels of beta-endorphin, cortisol, prolactin, growth hormone, HVA and MHPG were determined before and 45 min after administration. Naloxone elicited significant increases in cortis
## Abstract The effects of porcine growth hormone (pGH) or ovine prolactin (oPRL) alone and in combination with triiodothyronine (T~3~) on renal PRL receptors were determined in both preβ and postβmetamorphic tiger salamanders __(Ambystoma tigrinum).__ The protein hormones were given at a dose of 1
