ABSTRACT

Objective:

To investigate serum levels of macroprolactin and gonadal hormones in patients with hyperprolactinemia induced by antipsychotics and their clinical significance.

Methods:

A total of 105 female patients with schizophrenia who received treatment in Huzhou Third Municipal Hospital from June 2017 to October 2018 were included in this study. All these patients received the antipsychotic drug clozapine for 2 months. Then 50 patients with hyperprolactinemia were included in the observation group, and 55 patients who had no hyperprolactinemia were included in this control group. The scores of the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms and Scales for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms were compared between the two groups. Serum levels of macroprolactin, progesterone, testosterone, estradiol, prolactin, luteinizing hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone were then compared between the two groups. The Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between serum macroprolactin level and serum progesterone, estradiol, prolactin, and luteinizing hormone levels.

Results:

Serum macroprolactin level in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(63.80 ± 12.13) ng/mL vs. (59.07 ± 9.84) ng/mL, t = 2.20, P = 0.030). Serum levels of progesterone, testosterone, estradiol, prolactin, luteinizing hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone were (4.01 ± 0.47) ng/mL, (5.59 ± 1.15) ng/mL, (236.72 ± 15.14) pg/mL, (127.30 ± 12.40) ng/mL, (6.05 ± 1.10) mIU/mL, (8.52 ± 2.13) mIU/mL, respectively, and they were (10.25 ± 1.83) ng/mL, (6.01 ± 1.20) ng/mL, (433.10 ± 20.90) pg/mL, (50.58 ± 6.22) ng/mL, (7.69 ± 2.36) mIU/mL, (8.48 ± 2.01) mIU/mL, respectively in the control group. Serum levels of progesterone, estradiol, and luteinizing hormone in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and serum level of prolactin in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( t = 23.41, 54.66, 4.63, 40.61, all P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in serum levels of testosterone and follicle-stimulating hormone between the two groups ( t = 1.82, 0.09, P = 0.071, 0.921). Spearman correlation analysis results showed that serum macroprolactin level was negatively correlated with serum levels of progesterone and estradiol, and it was positively correlated with serum levels of prolactin and luteinizing hormone ( r = -0.42, -0.51, -0.68, 0.70, all P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

Serum levels of macroprolactin and prolactin were higher, and serum levels of progesterone, estradiol, and luteinizing hormone levels were lower in patients with hyperprolactinemia induced by antipsychotics than in patients without hyperprolactinemia. Serum levels of macroprolactin, prolactin, luteinizing hormone, progesterone, and estradiol were remarkably correlated with the balance of gonadal hormones. The study outcomes are of great innovation and science.
