Prolactin release in liver cirrhosis with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). 1981

The effects of acute TRH and cimetidine administration on the plasma prolactin (PRL) response have been studied in cirrhotic patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). I v. TRH administration stimulates PRL release both in cirrhotics and controls; i.v. cimetidine did not induced a significant rise of PRL in liver cirrhosis. Present findings demonstrate that PRL is not responsible for the deterioration of glucose handling in alcoholic cirrhotic patients examined.

D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.
