Zusammenfassung

Die Injektion von 2-Br-α-ergokryptin (CB 154) hemmte das Überleben vonXiphophorus helleri undPoecilia latipinna im Süsswasser. CB 154 senkte die Plasma-Na-Konzentration vonP. latipinna, was als Zeichen einer Hemmung der Prolaktinsekretion interpretiert werden kann. Auch erschienen die wahrscheinlich Prolaktin sezernierendenaeta-Zellen der Hypophyse inaktiv nach CB 154. Es ist noch unbekannt, ob CB 154 direkt oder indirekt die Prolaktinsekretion der Hypophyse hemmt.
