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 ...

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

Persistent hyperprolactinemia and bilateral galactocele in a male infant: case report [PDF]
Galactocele is a benign breast lesion, usually occurring in nursing women. This lesion is a rare cause of breast enlargement in children. In this paper we describe the case of an infant with hyperprolactinemia (which persisted throughout 15 years of ...

Contemporary approaches to the diagnosis of hyperprolactinemia
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.

Prolactin is a polypeptide hormone that is synthesized in and secreted from the lactotrophs of the anterior pituitary gland. We are now aware that synthesis and secretion of prolactin is not restricted to the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, but ...

PCOS and Hyperprolactinemia: what do we know in 2019?
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hyperprolactinemia (HPRL) are the two most common etiologies of anovulation in women. Since the 1950s, some authors think that there is a pathophysiological link between PCOS and HPRL.

Sexual function and depressive symptoms in young women with elevated macroprolactin content: a pilot study [PDF]
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.
