Sulpiride-induced effect on rat hormonal state.

<p>C; controls treated with normal saline; SULP: sulpiride (dopamine D₂-antagonist); B[a]P: benzo[a]pyrene; OIL: olive oil; T3: triiodothyronin expressed in ng/dl; T4: thyroxin expressed in μg/dl; TSH: thyroid-stimulating hormone expressed in ng/ml; GH: growth hormone expressed in ng/ml; PRL: prolactin expressed in ng/ml; Corticosterone expressed in mg/ml; Insulin expressed in pg/ml. Values are expressed as mean ± SE (n = 10). The asterisks indicate the significance of the differences between SULP-treated rats and controls, and between B[a]P-exposed rats with and without concomitant treatment with SULP</p><p>*P<0.05</p><p>**P<0.005</p><p>***P<0.001</p><p>Sulpiride-induced effect on rat hormonal state.
