BACKGROUND
Prolactinoma has been associated with obesity. As opposed to ACTH- and GH-secreting adenoma, the mechanism by which macroprolactinoma causes obesity has not been fully understood. Having seen patients with both prolactinoma and obesity and more recent literature on brain dopamine,
OBJECTIVE
Increasing evidence exists that hyperprolactinemia alters metabolic profile. The mechanism of this effect is unknown. We aimed to investigate the differences between the metabolic profile of patients with prolactinomas and nonfunctional pituitary adenomas and to evaluate the impact of
BACKGROUND
prolactinomas are pituitary adenomas that express and secrete prolactin. These patients are overweight and the mechanisms are being studied.
OBJECTIVE
assess nutritional and metabolic status of overweight patients with and without hyperprolactinemia caused by prolactinoma and compare
OBJECTIVE
It has recently been shown that increased body weight is associated with prolactinomas and that weight loss occurs with normalization of prolactin levels. On the other hand, decreased dopaminergic tone in humans is well correlated with obesity. The objective of this study was to correlate
Four female patients were found to have microadenomas and high prolactin levels, but the symptoms of the syndrome varied among the patients. Three of four patients had overt galactorrhea, obesity, and amenorrhea. One patient was postmenopausal, and another showed menstrual irregularities. Two
A 57-year-old obese woman with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, and a 40-year history of secondary amenorrhea was diagnosed with corticotropin-dependent Cushing's syndrome. Dynamic endocrine testing and radiological evaluation did not reveal definitively the source of the excess
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the characteristics of pituitary adenomas that produce both prolactin and adrenocorticotropin.
METHODS
Between 2002 and 2011, we reviewed the data of 336 patients undergoing transsphenoidal surgery at Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University, Jinan, China.
Hyperprolactinemia is the most common pituitary hormone hypersecretion syndrome in both men and women. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrinopathies affecting 5%-10% of reproductive age women. Here, we present a patient with irregular menses, obesity, hirsutism and
To evaluate body dissatisfaction and distorted body self-image in women with prolactinoma.Body dissatisfaction and distorted body self-image were evaluated in 80 women with prolactinoma. All patients were in menacme, 34% had normal body mass index (BMI), There is a paucity of data describing long-term outcomes of paediatric patients with pituitary adenoma. In this report we describe clinical features, treatment and outcomes of a paediatric cohort.Retrospective cohort study.24 BACKGROUND
Hyperprolactinemia has been implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity and glucose intolerance and is reportedly associated with an impaired metabolic profile. The current study aimed at investigating the effects of 12- and 60-month treatment with cabergoline (CAB) on metabolic syndrome
METHODS
Three years ago, a now 26-year-old woman with secondary amenorrhoea was found to have a prolactinoma which was treated with bromocriptine. However, because of side effects and psychosocial problems she took the drug only irregularly. There were no neurological symptoms and the visual fields
Deranged metabolic profiles and insulin resistance (IR) have been documented in patients with prolactinomas. Few data are yet available on the apolipoprotein (apo) B/apoA-I ratio and its relationship with IR in patients with prolactinomas. This study was aimed to evaluate the level of apoB/apoA-I
Hyperprolactinemia and prolactinoma in patients with long-term primary hypothyroidism have been recognized for decades. We report a case of 57-year-old female patient with lingual thyroid and cretinism who had a high serum prolactin level (greater than 200 ng/ml) and a pituitary tumor with
