Assessment of macroprolactinemia inpatients with prolactinoma
Turkish Journal of Biochemistry, 2017 Abstract Purpose Macroprolactin, the high-molecular mass prolactin isoform, is considered to be an inactive product with extrapituitary origin. Although macroprolactinemia is considered a benign condition, there is evidence of overlapping clinical features among patients with hyperprolactinemia.

Clinical Endocrinology, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 450-458, May 2024.Abstract Objective and Design Macroprolactinemia may influence the interpretation of serum prolactin levels—a recognised phenomenon since 1981. The degree of macroprolactinaemia over time is less well described. We determined how macroprolactin status (based on polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation) varied by analysing serial measurements in ...

Contemporary approaches to the diagnosis of hyperprolactinemia
Репродуктивная эндокринология, 2019 Hyperprolactinemia (HP) is a persistent prolactin increase in serum. HP is a common endocrinopathy that impairs reproductive function, long term HP may lead to the metabolic disorders and a decrease in bone mineral density.

Sexual function and depressive symptoms in young women with elevated macroprolactin content: a pilot study [PDF]
, 2016 Elevated prolactin levels seem to be associated with impaired sexuality. The clinical significance of macroprolactinemia, associated with the predominance of high molecular mass circulating forms of prolactin, is still poorly understood.

Detection of macroprolactinemia and molecular characterization of prolactin isoforms in blood samples of hyperprolactinemic women [PDF]
Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2012 Prolactin (PRL) circulates in the blood in the form of monomeric prolactin, dimeric prolactin and macroprolactin. Macroprolactin is a common cause of hyperprolactinemia.
