... treatment (ESTR, n = 39). Serum levels of prolactin (PRL) were determined prior to treatment and 6, 12 and 24 months after initiation of the treatment. In the ORX group, 32 patients responded to the treatment and 9 did not. In the ESTR group, 27 patients responded and 12 did not. Serum PRL levels were...

... of serum testosterone and prolactin levels. The reduction of Fosfestrol dosage combined with bromocriptine and the intermittent administration of estrogens resulted in a prolongation of the period of sensitivity to female hormones, in a better tolerance for the drugs, and in a reduced number of side...

...S. Micic; V. Illic; M. Isvaneski Serum FSH levels were significantly higher in infertile men with varicocele than in oligospermic and fertile men. Among the groups investigated there were no significant differences in serum LH, prolactin and testosterone levels. Men with varicocele and with severe...

...; there is a close relationship between the steroid and prolactin effects and PGs in the prostate gland. Together with prolactin, PGs are modulators of the stimulatory effects of steroids on this organ, on the other hand, the PGs formed in the prostate gland also exert a certain ‘remote action’ in semen...

...) and luteinizing hormone (LH). In contrast, those of prolactin, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and cortisol as well as sexual hormone binding globulin (SHBG) are elevated. The additional administration of bromocriptine decreases prolactin to normal levels and further decreases the testosterone levels. The adrenal...

...J.A. Thomas; M.S. Manandhar; E.J. Keenan; W.D. Edwards; P.A. Klase The simultaneous subcutaneous injections of dihydrotestosterone (0.5 mg/kg) and/or ovine prolactin (5 or 50 IU/kg) to mature castrate rats for periods of 5–10 days led to an augmentation of prostate gland levels of RNA, DNA...

...Winston D. Edwards; John A. Thomas The effect of testosterone propionate (TP) pellets (15 mg) and/or prolactin (50 IU/kg body weight daily × 5 i.p.) on the morphology of ventral prostates transplanted to the cleared 5th mammary fat pads of intact or castrated male hosts or into intact...

.... Prolactin (50 IU/kg daily × 5) did not affect DNA levels in either the transplants or the in situ prostate, but this hormone did accelerate the formation of DHT- 3 H in the in situ prostate in vitro . 27 1 2010 © 1977 S. Karger AG, Basel 1977 Copyright / Drug Dosage / Disclaimer Copyright...

...G.H. Jacobi; J.E. Altwein Since prolactin has several modes of action on prostatic growth and physiology, the effect of the antiprolactin bromocriptine on plasma kinetics and intraprostatic metabolism of testosterone was studied in patients with untreated prostatic cancer; a therapy protocol...
