Abstract
The effects of mazindol, an anorexiant, on the secretion of anterior pituitary and adrenocortical hormones were examined in healthy male volunteers and in patients with Addison''s disease. In healthy male volunteers, significant elevations in plasma ACTH, .beta.-endorphin, .beta.-lipotropin and growth hormone were induced by mazindol administration, though no changes were observed in plasma TSH, luteininzing hormone, FSH or prolactin. Plasma ACTH also increased in patients with Addison''s disease. Plasma cortisol increased, without a change in the plasma aldosterone levels, after mazindol administration to normal subjects.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
