Abstract:

Plant extracts from Lithospermum officinale, Lycopus virginicus L. (Lamiaceae), Melissa officinalis L. (Lamiaceae) and Thymus serpyllum L. (Lamiaceae) were administered to euthyroid and hypothyroid rats. In the euthyroid rat serum and pituitary TSH-levels were greatly diminished by the plant extracts. At the same time prolactin serum levels and hypophyseal stores were reduced by the plant extracts
