Parathormone-Related Peptide Is Not Associated with Bone Mineral Density in Eugonadal Prolactinoma
Objective: One of many theories for the cause of osteoporosis in prolactinoma is the increased level of the parathyroid hormone-related peptide. We aimed to assess the parathyroid hormone-related pep- tide levels and its potential effects on bone mineral

Kisspeptin as a test of hypothalamic dysfunction in pubertal and reproductive disorders
Abstract The hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis is regulated by the gonadotropin‐releasing hormone pulse generator in the hypothalamus. This is comprised of neurons that secrete kisspeptin in a pulsatile manner to stimulate the release of GnRH, and, in turn, downstream gonadotropins from the pituitary gland, and subsequently sex steroids and ...

Aggressive and Malignant Prolactinomas [PDF]
Prolactin-secreting tumors (prolactinomas) represent the most common pituitary tumor type, accounting for 47–66% of functional pituitary tumors. Prolactinomas are usually benign and controllable tumors as they express abundant levels of dopamine type 2 receptor (D2), and can be treated with dopaminergic drugs, effectively reducing prolactin levels and ...
