  • Title: Prolactin release in liver cirrhosis with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).
    Author: Greco AV, Modugno I, Altomonte L, Manna R, Rebuzzi AG, Ghirlanda G.
    Journal: Endokrinologie; 1981 Oct; 78(1):84-8. PubMed ID: 6797817.
    Abstract:
    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.
