The effects of physiological and pathophysiological concentrations of prolactin on the responses of vascular smooth muscle to noradrenaline and to angiotensin were studied. 50 ng. per ml. prolactin caused a sustained potentiation of the responses of rat aortic strips to noradrenaline; after an initial potentiation concentrations of 500 and 5000 ng. per ml. depressed the responses. Similar results were obtained with a rat mesenteric vascular-bed preparation. A prolactin concentration of 100 ng. per ml. seemed to be the point at which the response pattern changed. Prolactin had similar effects on the responses of the mesenteric vascular bed to angiotensin. Since stimuli such as surgery, exercise, emotional stress, pregnancy, and treatment with reserpine and methyldopa may increase human plasma-prolactin levels to 30-500 ng. per ml., these results may have wide clinical importance in both sexes.
