The Relationship Between Insulin Resistance And Serum Prolactin Levels in Normoglycemic Obese Patients

Abstract

In the present study we aimed to investigate the correlation between insulin sensitivity and serum prolactin levels in normoglycemic obese patients. Thirty-six subjects, with varying degrees of BMI (BMI=39.7±5.4) (22 obese and 14 morbide obese patients) were included in this study. All subjects underwent a diagnostic protocol which included measurements of insulin sensitivity index, serum prolactin levels and anthropometric measures. The insulin sensitivity was measured by HOMA (Homeostasis Model Assessment) score. Correlation analysis showed that there was no significant relationship among serum prolactin levels and HOMA-IR (r=-0.25, p=0.27). There was a significant relationship among serum prolactin levels and BMI (r=0.52, p<0.05). There was a significant difference in serum prolactin levels between obese and morbide obese patients (p<0.05). These results show that the circulating prolactin elevation, which is observed during body mass increase, does not reflect insulin resistance. Further studies will be required to investigate the role of prolactin in obesity pathogenesis.
