Neuroendocrine probes of serotonergic function: A critical review
Abstract
Neuroendocrine probes of serotonergic function are based on the premise that serotonin (5-HT) exhibits an excitory influence on the release of certain anterior pituitary hormones and that the extent of release of these hormones following a challenge with a 5-HT agonist would provide an index of central 5-HT activity.
