Pituitary, 2008
In several respects prolactin is unique among anterior pituitary hormones. The primary regulation of prolactin secretion is mediated through hypothalamic inhibition, and the diagnosis of hyperprolactinemia can be established without the use of stimulation or suppression tests.

Treatments in Endocrinology, 2003
Hyperprolactinemia is commonly found in both female and male patients with abnormal sexual and/or reproductive function or with galactorrhea. If serum prolactin levels are above 200 microg/L, a prolactin-secreting pituitary adenoma (prolactinoma) is the underlying cause, but if levels are lower, differential diagnoses include the intake of various ...

Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 1992
Unlike other pituitary hormones, PRL is under tonic inhibition by the hypothalamus by way of the PRL inhibitory factor, dopamine. GAP and GABA may also be inhibitory. PRL-releasing factors include TRH and VIP and possibly others. Circulating PRL is predominantly monomeric, although some patients with hyperprolactinemia appear to have increased ...

Schweizerische medizinische Wochenschrift, 1986
Hyperprolactinemia is frequent in clinical endocrinology. Its commonest causes are, besides pregnancy and lactation, drugs, mainly involving the generally used psychopharmaca and the equally ubiquitously prescribed estrogens. The single most important cause is a pituitary tumor, the prolactinoma, but lesions of the hypothalamus or pituitary stalk ...

Hyperlactinemia is the most commonplace expression of hypophyseal pathology, above all in females, and is one of the most frequent causes of sexual disorders. The present study examined the etiopathogenesis of hyperprolactinemic syndromes and discusses their pathophysiology, paying special attention to neuroendocrine alterations in the presence of ...

Hyperprolactinemia in Sarcoidosis
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1972Abstract Serum prolactin levels were measured in 34 patients with extrapulmonary sarcoidosis (10 men, 24 women). Four patients had the syndrome of galactorrhea and amenorrhea.

In clinical endocrinology an elevated prolactin concentration in serum is often encountered. This may be either physiological during pregnancy and lactation or pathological in all other cases. The most frequent causes are drugs (dopamine antagonists, estrogens) and primary hypothyroidism.

Hyperprolactinemia and headaches
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1983We investigated the frequency of headaches in women with menstrual abnormalities and hyperprolactinemia. Twenty-seven of 46 (58%) women with hyperprolactinemia indicated that headache episodes occur once or more per week; patients with sellar abnormalities (macroadenoma) or previous cranial or pituitary operation were excluded from this group of ...
