...Maurizio Delvecchio; Maria Felicia Faienza; Antonella Lonero; Vincenzo Rutigliano; Ruggiero Francavilla; Luciano Cavallo Background/Aims: Prolactin (PRL) is produced by the anterior pituitary gland. It exerts its role on the breast gland but also plays a modulatory role in autoimmune mechanisms...

... retrospectively analyzed from a registry study of children with ONH. The initial serum prolactin was obtained prior to age 36 months (n = 125) and compared with pituitary function and body mass index at age 5. Results: 72% of subjects had an elevated initial serum prolactin and 60% had hypopituitarism...
