Prolactin .+-. SD) by comparison to controls: 33.12 .+-. 11.16 ng/ml, their effect being cumulative (83.75 .+-. 13.86 ng/ml). However, the effect of pyridoxine and pimozide at the central level is different, pyridoxine producing an increase of the pituitary concentration of PRL, while pimozide depleted the stored PRL. Hypothetical mechanisms of pyridoxine action at the pituitary level are discussed.
