An osmoregulatory role for prolactin (PRL) in man has been postulated, and PRL secretion has been reported to be influenced by osmotic stimuli. Clinical observation, however, does not support this notion. The effects of water loading, hypertonic saline infusion and nicotine on serum PRL and on renal
Exposure to tobacco smoke is related to changes in energy balance regulation and several endocrine dysfunctions. Previously, we showed that maternal nicotine (the main addictive compound of tobacco) exposure exclusively during lactation affects biochemical profiles in mothers, milk, and pups. As the
We have shown that maternal nicotine exposure during lactation has long-lasting effects on body adiposity and hormonal status of rat offspring. Here, we studied the nutritional and hormonal profiles in this experimental model. Two days after birth, osmotic minipumps were implanted in lactating rats
This review highlights recent studies that investigate causes and treatments for recurrent pregnancy loss. Generally the causes of recurrent pregnancy loss are classified as genetic, endocrinologic, anatomic, immunologic, microbiologic, and environmental. The majority of recent work has focused on
Recent meta-analyses have found a correlation between schizophrenia and increased fracture risk with one contributing factor potentially being antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia, which may accelerate bone turnover. The objective of this study is to evaluate fracture rates in BACKGROUND
Aripiprazole, an atypical or second-generation antipsychotic, is usually well tolerated. It is an approved treatment for schizophrenia and mania in bipolar disorder type 1. Unlike the other antipsychotics, it has high affinity agonist properties for dopamine D2 and D3 receptors. It has
BACKGROUND
A potential association between schizophrenia and osteoporosis or osteopenia has recently been reported. Various factors affect bone mineral density (BMD) such as polydipsia, nicotine, alcohol abuse, lack of physical activity, an unbalanced diet, a lack of ultraviolet exposure and/or
Hirsutism is a clinical condition commonly encountered in the practice of primary care medicine. The etiology and the age of the patient when it occurs vary widely. Causes range from a basic illness or condition (drug exposure, smoking, idiopathic, and obesity) to complex and serious diseases
The etiopathogenesis, risk factors and indications for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in patients with schizophrenia are presented. Accelerated decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) is mostly attributed to antypsychotics (drug-induced hyperprolactinemia and decrease in levels of estrogen
The aim of the study was to determine whether atherosclerotic risk markers exist at the moment and after withdrawal of cabergoline (CAB) therapy in patients who had taken a suitable dose of CAB therapy for a suitable period of time before cessation of CAB.
This study was designed as prospective
Hyperprolactinemia with amenorrhea and galactorrhea generally has a benign clinical course without treatment. Prolonged amenorrhea due to early surgical castration or premature menopause is, however, associated with reduced bone mass and increased risk of fractures. Previous studies in
