RESUMO

Prolactin secretion was assessed in 23 patients with hypothalamic-pituitary disorders using L-Dopa suppression, chlorpromazine (CPZ), and thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimulation tests. Based on the responses to these tests, three groups of patients were identified: those with panhypopituitarism (group I) and those with partial hypopituitarism either with (group II) or without (group III) evidence of hypothalamic involvement.
