Bojanowska E. and Guzek J. W.: Iloprost (ZK 36374; a stable prostacyclin analogue) increases basal as well as potassium-evoked vasopressin and oxytocin secretion from rat neurointermediate lobes in vitro. This finding suggests a possible regulatory role of endogenous prostacyclin in the release of neurohypophysial hormones.
