Calcium, cAMP, and dopamine affect single mammotrophs assayed by hemolytic plaques
We investigated the effects of dopamine, forskolin, and maitotoxin on prolactin release from individual rat and monkey mammotrophs. Forskolin increases cAMP levels, whereas maitotoxin amplifies the influx of extracellular calcium.
