Effects of Bromocriptine on Plasma Catecholamines in Normal Men
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Administration of a single oral 2.5 mg dose of bromocriptine (Brc), a dopamine (DA) receptor agonist, to normal male volunteers results in comparable marked decreases in resting supine plasma concentrations of DA (decrement 2 h after drug administration was 67 +/- 5%; mean +/- SE), norepinephrine (NE; 63 +/- 3%) and epinephrine (E; 65 +/- 5%); decreases in all three plasma catecholamine (CA) concentrations were significant at p less than 0.001. This effect of Brc on plasma CAs was initiated more rapidly and was of briefer duration than the suppressive effect on serum prolactin (Prl). When Brc was administered daily for 1 week, its effect on plasma CAs had terminated within 4 h of its adninistration. A further oral dose after administration of Brc for 1 week produced identical suppressive effects on plasma CAs to those observed following the 1st dose. Brc did not prevent the incremental response of plasma DA, NE and E to standing. Also, orthostatic hypotension occurred on occasion, in spite of normal plasma CA responses to standing. Brc did not affect basal serum concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), testosterone or dihydrotestosterone. These data describing a suppressive effect of Brc on plasma DA, NE and E suggest that Brc inhibits release of these CAs from peripheral sympathetic nerve endings and adrenal medulla, and acts at least in part through presynaptic CA receptors in the brain. The suppressive effect of Brc on plasma CAs may prove useful as a test of normal presynaptic CA mechanisms.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
