Abstrakt: The prolactin (PRL) response to 0.5 mg i.m. of reserpine was compared to 0.5 mg i.m. of haloperidol in eight young men. The fact that reserpine was found to be a potent releaser of PRL--significantly greater than haloperidol--suggests a major role of storage pool dopamine in regulating PRL Secretion. Since the PRL response to neuroleptics is highly correlated with clinical potency, reserpine could be a potent antipsychotic, and further clinical trials are indicated.
