Abstract
- Little is known about the neuroendocrine impact of cocaine as it relates to pituitary growth hormone secretion. In these studies, in adult male rats, intracerebroventricular administration of cocaine caused a potent dose-related suppression of circulating growth hormone (GH) in animals sacrificed 15 min after drug administration. We conclude that in the adult male rat cocaine suppresses plasma GH levels.
