The influence of caloric restriction on serum prolactin
1979
Lamberts, Steven W.J. | Visser, Theo J. | Wilson, J.H. Paul
Nine obese female patients were placed on a liquid formula diet for a period of four weeks under metabolic-ward conditions. The diet was tolerated well in all patients. Mean weight loss was 2.49 kilograms per week. Basal serum prolactin levels were normal and did not show any change. No change was observed in the serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) response to TRH before and during caloric restriction. Dietary restriction suppresses prolactin synthesis and secretion as measured in response to TRH in obese female patients.
