The response of serum and seminal plasma prolactin to bromocriptine in normal men

Acta Eur Fertil. 1983 Jan-Feb;14(1):75-7.

Abstract

The Authors describe their experience with a group of twelve volunteer healthy men in order to evaluate if the bromocriptine inhibition of serum prolactin concentration also modifies seminal plasma PRL values. The results of this study lead us to suppose that PRL in semen could arrive from serum by a filtration process through the prostatovescicular apparatus.
