Prolactin secretion and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate plasma levels in women with benign breast disease

J Endocrinol Invest. 1989 Sep;12(8):549-52. doi: 10.1007/BF03350757.

Abstract

The purpose of the present investigation was to verify possible positive correlations between prolactin secretion and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate levels in plasma of women with benign breast disease. Prolactin secretion was evaluated in terms of basal levels, maximum peak, percent increase above baseline levels, total integrated area, response area after TRH stimulation. No correlation was found between the parameters of prolactin secretion and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate levels.
