Introduction: Hyperprolactinemia is reportedly associated with an impaired metabolic profile, particularly in patients with concomitant hypogonadism. The current study aimed at investigating the effects of short (12 months) and long (60 months) treatment with cabergoline (CAB) on metabolic complications, metabolic syndrome (MS) prevalence and visceral adiposity index (VAI) in hyperprolactinemic patients.Patients and methods: Seventy-one patients (51 F, 2...

Introduction: Generously supported by IPSEN)-->Hyperprolactinemia (HPRL) is associated with an impaired metabolic profile, particularly in patients with hypogonadism. This study aimed to: i) investigate the effects of short and long treatment with cabergoline (CAB) on the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and insulin sensitivity and ii) to evaluate the impact of gonadal function on metabolic changes, in male patients with HPRL.</...
