Metabolic effects of dopamine-agonists treatment among patients with prolactinomas
Endocrine(2022)
摘要
Purpose To evaluate the effect of cabergoline treatment on metabolic parameters including the Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index in newly diagnosed patients with prolactinoma. Methods 71 consecutive nondiabetic patients with prolactinoma were enrolled. Anthropometric and laboratory tests including TyG index were measured at baseline, 3 and 6 months visits. Treatment with cabergoline at the dose of 0.25 mg twice weekly was started and increased according to prolactin levels and continued for 6 months. Results At the baseline examination, the mean (SD) age, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of patients were 36.2 (10.5) years, 29.2 (5.0) kg/m 2 , 98.2 (13.7) cm, 115.3 (13.3) mmHg, and 71.4 (8.1) mmHg, respectively. Forty-one (57.7%) of patients were women and 46 (64.8%) had microadenoma. Cabergoline treatment significantly improved anthropometric and metabolic measures including BMI, WC, fasting plasma glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, uric acid (only among women), TyG index, and hypogonadism. Blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic) levels remained steady except for a significant decrease in DBP after 6 months of treatment only among women. A declining trend in MetS prevalence was found from baseline to a 3-month evaluation in both genders which was statistically significant among men. Conclusion Short-term treatment with cabergoline can significantly improve cardiovascular risk factors except for blood pressure. Moreover, the TyG index as a surrogate marker of insulin resistance decreased significantly after the reduction of prolactin by treatment. Generally, results were similar among both genders.
