Objective: Platelet activation is a recently recognized characteristic of prolactin, which functions through the potentiation of ADP-induced P-selectin expression on platelets. Studies in hyperprolactinemic patients demonstrated atherosclerotic disorders related to insulin resistance; convenient milieus for platelet activation. To investigate the association between hyperprolactinemia and platelet activation related to P-selectin expression, we studied on hyperprolactinemic an...
