Objective: Hyperprolactinemia is reported to be associated with impaired glucose metabolism, and low-grade inflammation. There is some data regarding increased oxidative stress- particularly protein oxidation in the conditions like metabolic syndrome or diabetes, but not in hyperprolactinemic subjects in the literature. We aimed to investigate advanced oxidation protein product (AOPP) levels-an established marker of protein oxidation and antioxidant thiol levels in hyperprolac...
