The homeo-FIT-prolactin hypothesis: the role of prolactin in metabolic homeostasis - association or causality?
The homeo-fit-prolactin hypothesis proposes a causal metabolic role for prolactin with hypoprolactinemia and hyperprolactinemia leading to adverse metabolic alterations. However, prolactin within the normal range and up to four times the upper reference limit may be a consequence of metabolic adaption and have a positive metabolic role similar to increased insulin in pre-diabetes. As a consequence, drugs that would increase prolactin levels within this threshold may hold promising effects, particularly for patients with type 2 diabetes. A documented positive metabolic effect of prolactin just above the normal threshold would not just be of benefit to patients with diabetes but assist in the decision to treat mild hyperprolactinemia in other patient groups as well, e.g. drug-induced hyperprolactinemia or idiopathic hyperprolactinemia. Prolactin receptors are present in the pancreas, liver, and adipose tissue, and pre-clinical studies suggest a positive and causal effect of prolactin on the gluco-insulinemic profile and lipid metabolism. This narrative review examines the evidence for the homeo-fit-prolactin hypothesis with a particular focus on results from human studies.
期刊介绍:
Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders is an international journal dedicated to the field of endocrinology and metabolism. It aims to provide the latest advancements in this rapidly advancing field to students, clinicians, and researchers. Unlike other journals, each quarterly issue of this review journal focuses on a specific topic and features ten to twelve articles written by world leaders in the field. These articles provide brief overviews of the latest developments, offering insights into both the basic aspects of the disease and its clinical implications. This format allows individuals in all areas of the field, including students, academic clinicians, and practicing clinicians, to understand the disease process and apply their knowledge to their specific areas of interest. The journal also includes selected readings and other essential references to encourage further in-depth exploration of specific topics.
