Acute effect of atenolol on serum thyroid hormones in hyperthyroid patients.

The effect of atenolol on serum thyroid hormones levels is controversial. To get more information on this problem we studied the effect of propranolol and atenolol on plasma thyroid hormone concentrations in 20 thyrotoxic patients. Propranolol but not atenolol caused a significant decrease in T3 levels whereas no significant changes wee observed in T4 levels after both propranolol and atenolol administration.

Muscarinic receptor blockade by pirenzepine: effect on prolactin secretion in man.

The effect of pirenzepine, a muscarinic receptor blocker which does not cross the blood brain barrier, on basal and TRH-stimulated prolactin (PRL) secretion in normal subjects was studied. Administration of 75 mg oral pirenzepine had no effects on prolactin levels in male subjects whereas it significantly reduced prolactin in females. No effect on TRH induced prolactin secretion was observed.
