Abstract
Tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic system (TIDA) together with anterior pituitary dopamine receptor was evaluated in 9 patients with Shy-Drager syndrome (SDS) through the responses of serum growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) to dopaminergic stimulation or dopamine receptor inhibition. A variety of abnormal responses of serum GH and/or PRL following the administration of these drugs suggests the TIDA involvement as well as the nigrostriatal system and moreover the different degeneration processes in each dopaminergic system in SDS.
