  2. Hypoprolactinemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoprolactinemia

    Hypoprolactinemia can result from autoimmune disease, [2] hypopituitarism, [1] growth hormone deficiency, [2] hypothyroidism, [2] excessive dopamine action in the tuberoinfundibular pathway and/or the anterior pituitary, and ingestion of drugs that activate the D 2 receptor, such as direct D 2 receptor agonists like bromocriptine and pergolide, and indirect D 2 receptor activators like ...

    Prolactin has a wide variety of effects.

  5. Hypopituitarism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypopituitarism

    Levels of LH/FSH may be suppressed by a raised prolactin level, and are therefore not interpretable unless prolactin is low or normal. In men, the combination of low LH and FSH in combination with a low testosterone confirms LH/FSH deficiency; a high testosterone would indicate a source elsewhere in the body (such as a testosterone-secreting ...

  6. Low milk supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_milk_supply

    High levels of prolactin are necessary for lactation, however there is no direct correlation between baseline levels of prolactin and quantity of milk production. [5] One aspect of supply regulation that has been identified is that breast milk contains a peptide called feedback inhibitor of lactation (FIL).

  7. Prolactin modulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolactin_modulator

    Whereas D 2 receptor agonists suppress prolactin secretion, dopamine D 2 receptor antagonists like domperidone and metoclopramide have the opposite effect, strongly inducing the pituitary secretion of prolactin, and are sometimes used as prolactin releasers, for instance to correct hypoprolactinemia (low prolactin levels) in the treatment of lactation failure. [2]

  8. Macroprolactin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macroprolactin

    The most common complex found in blood consists of prolactin and immunoglobulin G (IgG). [1] While the free prolactin hormone is active, prolactin in the macroprolactin complex does not have any biological activity in the body and is considered benign. [2] However, macroprolactin is detected by all Laboratory tests that measure prolactin in ...
