Hyperprolactinemia and its effect on female sterility.

T Atasü, D Kösebay, M Arvas

    Biological Research in Pregnancy and Perinatology
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    High prolactin (PRL) levels can cause infertility by affecting ovulation and steroid synthesis. This study investigates the link between PRL levels and endometrial changes in infertile patients, revealing individual variations in PRL receptor sensitivity.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Endocrinology
    • Human Physiology

    Background:

    • Prolactin (PRL) plays a crucial role in human reproduction.
    • Elevated PRL levels are associated with infertility, potentially impacting ovulation and ovarian steroidogenesis.
    • Hyperprolactinemia can lead to conditions like amenorrhea.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the mechanisms of sterility in patients with hyperprolactinemia.
    • To explore the correlation between prolactin levels and endometrial changes in infertile hyperprolactinemic individuals.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of prolactin (PRL) levels in hyperprolactinemic patients presenting with sterility.
    • Investigation of endometrial changes in relation to PRL values.

    Main Results:

    • Findings suggest that the effects of prolactin on target organs are subject to individual variations.
    • The degree of receptor sensitivity appears to influence the impact of prolactin.

    Conclusions:

    • The relationship between hyperprolactinemia and sterility is complex and influenced by individual receptor sensitivity.
    • Further research into prolactin's receptor-mediated effects is warranted to understand its role in reproductive dysfunction.
