BACKGROUND
Hyperprolactinemia is an uncommon cause of erectile dysfunction in men. Paget's disease of the skull is a relatively common disease. This case proposes a rare example of a causative link between the two and how treatment of the Paget's disease with bisphosphonates helped the patient
Serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, parathyroid hormone, calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase levels as well as the renal handling of phosphorus were measured in female patients with hyperprolactinemia. Despite elevated prolactin levels, none of the patients showed an imbalance of the biochemical
We report the application of digoxigenin labelled oligonucleotide probes for the detection of hormonal messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in human pituitary adenomas. Positive signal for the appropriate mRNA was detected in tumours associated with Cushing's disease, acromegaly and hyperprolactinaemia, where
The study was carried out on a group of 20 women in reproductive age on chronic haemodialysis and on a control group of 11 healthy women. The women on a regular haemodialysis were divided into two subgroups: normoprolactinaemic and hyperprolactinaemic. The following parameters of bone metabolic
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) share similar clinical features and mechanisms. In very rare circumstances, the two diseases coexist in the same patient. Here we report such a patient, who was first diagnosed with Hand-Schüller-Christian disease (HSC), a type of
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of hyperprolactinemia and high levels of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) on bone resorption and their relation with receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in patients with prolactinoma and
We tested the hypothesis that biomarkers of bone resorption are increased in hyperprolactinemic amenorrheic patients with estrogen (E) deficiency, augmenting the possible risk of developing osteoporosis. Fifty hyperprolactinemic patients with amenorrhea of more than 12 months and with low serum E2,
This study was designed to investigate whether GH and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) excess could lead to the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia and/or prostatic carcinoma. Prostatic diameters and volume as well as the occurrence of prostatic diseases were studied by ultrasonography
Sulpiride or Dogmatil (Delagrange, Paris) was injected to male rats at the rate of 40 mg/day for either 10 or 20 days. Ponderal fluctuations of the accessory organs followed by a quantitative analysis of fructose and of serum acid phosphatases issued from testis epididymis and prostates (PAP) were
Because of evidence in experimental animals that prolactin stimulates production of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, we evaluated several indices of calcium metabolism in patients who had hyperprolactinemia due to functioning pituitary adenomas and in normal age-matched controls. Plasma levels of
McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a rare disorder that develops from an activating mutation in the Gs gene. It is characterized by an association with Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, and precocious puberty, Caf-au-lait pigmentation, and other endocrinopathies that result from the hyperactivity of a
50 patients with autonomous growth hormone excess (48 with adult acromegaly and 2 with gigantism) were studied between 1966 to 1986 (2.38 pts/year). Characteristic clinical presentation, an increase in growth hormone (GH) uninhibited by glucose, and/or hyperphosphemia and hyperhydroxiprolinuria were
Autoimmune diseases have become a major medical problem of recent years. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease model. The aim of our study was to follow the changes in the clinical autoimmunity picture of the celiac disease from recent years. The study of autoimmunity in celiac disease has focused
Influence of hyperprolactinaemia, induced endogenously by anterior pituitary transplantation on rat hepatic and renal cortical and medullary phosphomonoesterases and adenosine triphosphatases (ATPases) has been investigated. Although prolactin has a stimulatory effect on phosphomonoesterases and
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effect of hyperprolactinaemia and its treatment with dopamine-agonists on bone mass and turnover in adolescent patients compared to adults.
METHODS
Forty patients with hyperprolactinaemia (20 with disease onset during adolescence and 20 during adulthood) and 40 healthy
