Aim: Hyperinsulinaemia is frequent finding in patients with hyperprolactinemia and has associations with thyroid volume. In this study, we evaluated the association between thrombotic markers, insulin resistance, CIMT, and thyroid volume in female patients with prolactinoma.Material and methods: 38 women with prolactinoma and 24 healthy women were included to the study. We evaluated anthropometric, biochemical, hematologic and hormonal parameters as well...
