The effect of Fentanyl (FE), an opioid agonist, on neurosecretion and mood was investigated in normal volunteers using doses of 0.1, 0.2, 0.25 mg/70 kg. FE caused a strong dose-dependent increase in prolactin (PRL) secretion in every subject. In contrast, growth hormone (GH) was stimulated significantly at the highest dose only. Additionally, FE induced a significant increase in feeling of wellbeing measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
