Bromocriptine redirects metabolism and prevents seasonal onset of obese hyperinsulinemic state in Syrian hamsters

Bromocriptine reduced plasma concentration of insulin throughout the day, especially at light onset, by 78% without change in baseline glucose level and markedly decreased steady state plasma glucose (by 40%) during a continuous infusion of insulin and glucose. It also reduced the nocturnal plasma concentration of prolactin by 90%, cortisol by 70%, and thyroid hormones (thyroxine and triiodothyronine) by 50% and dramatically altered the circadian profiles of these hormones and insulin.
