GorgeousBlonde and Surfer Joe had this discussion on dopamine:

Dopamine increases HGH, but reduces prolactin.
There is a lot of work on the potential of puerarin in lowering the need for L-dopa medication in Parkinson's disease patients. Puerarin can keep up dopamine levels:
"Analysis of the dopamine, dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, and L-dihydroxy-phenyl-alanine contents of 6-hydroxydopamine-treated animals by HPLC revealed that puerarin was capable to restore the contents of dopamine and its metabolites":

All of the work on puerarin and dopamine was done on pueraria lobata (kudzu), but puerarin is also in PM. If PM does increase, or at least keep up dopamine, a lot of observations on PM can be explained.
- dopamine increases HGH: one of the reasons why PM users need little else, and effective PM programs can be quite simple.
- dopamine reduces prolactin: PM users experience swelling after stopping or decreasing PM.
- dopamine causes a feeling of immediate reward, e.g. in addiction. This explains why PM users report feeling "much better" after a few days on PM, and it also explains why their mood still improves between 3 and 6 months on PM.
