Hyperprolactinemia...Side effects...Induces Hypogonadism

I thought I would post this due to the importance for people to have their blood work done. With the common usage of progestins such as Trenbolone and Nadronlone, Hyperprolactinemia is a condition that is causing sexual side effects during and post cycle. Many people don't have their blood work done can only assume that it is due to low levels of test.

BTW...Cocaine usage can also result in what's know as cocaine-induced hyperprolactinemia.

Hyperprolactinemia in men: clinical and biochemical features and response to treatment.

De Rosa M, Zarrilli S, Di Sarno A, Milano N, Gaccione M, Boggia B, Lombardi G, Colao A.

Department of Molecular and Clinical Endocrinology and Oncology, "Federico II" University of Naples, Naples, Italy.

Hyperprolactinemia induces hypogonadism by inhibiting gonadotropin-releasing hormone pulsatile secretion and, consequently, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and testosterone pulsatility. This leads to spermatogenic arrest, impaired motility, and sperm quality and results in morphologic alterations of the testes similar to those observed in prepubertal testes. Men with hyperprolactinemia present more frequently with a macroadenoma than a microadenoma. Symptoms directly related to hypogonadism are prevalent. In men hypogonadism leads to impaired libido, erectile dysfunction, diminished ejaculate volume, and oligospermia. It is present in 16% of patients with erectile dysfunction and in approx 11% of men with oligospermia. Treatment with bromocriptine or cabergoline (CAB) is effective in men with prolactinomas, with a response that is in general comparable to treatment in women. Seminal fluid abnormalities rapidly improve with CAB treatment, while other dopaminergic compounds require longer periods of treatment. Moreover, to improve gonadal function in men, the integrity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis is necessary. New promising data indicate that a substantial proportion of patients with either micro- or macroprolactinoma do not present hyperprolactinemia after long-term withdrawal from CAB. Whether this corresponds to a definitive cure is still unknown, but treatment withdrawal should be attempted in patients achieving normalization of prolactin levels and disappearance of tumor mass to investigate this issue.
 
Good read Jenetic! I thought that cocaine carries strong dopaminemetic properties, so wouldn't it enhance dopamine and lower circulating prolactin concentrations? :confused:

Cocaine effects on pulsatile secretion of anterior pituitary, gonadal, and adrenal hormones
JH Mendelson, NK Mello, SK Teoh, J Ellingboe and J Cochin
Alcohol and Drug Abuse Research Center, Harvard Medical School/McLean Hospital, Belmont, Massachusetts 01278.

Pulse frequency analysis of LH, PRL, testosterone, and cortisol was carried out with the Cluster Analysis Program in eight male cocaine abusers and eight aged-matched normal men. Four of the eight cocaine abusers had hyperprolactinemia (range, 22.08-44.65 micrograms/L). Cocaine users as a group had significantly higher mean peak height (P less than 0.02) than control subjects. Cocaine users with hyperprolactinemia had higher mean peak height than control subjects or cocaine users with normal PRL levels (P less than 0.01). Cocaine users with hyperprolactinemia also had higher mean amplitude increments than control subjects (P less than 0.02). Cocaine users with hyperprolactinemia had a higher mean valley than controls (P less than 0.01) and cocaine users with normal PRL levels (P less than 0.03). However, there were no significant differences in PRL peak frequency, peak duration, or interpulse intervals between cocaine users with or without hyperprolactinemia and control subjects. There were minimal differences between cocaine users and control subjects in pulse frequency analysis of LH parameters; the small differences in mean LH levels and average interpulse interval were not in the abnormal range and were probably not biologically significant. No differences between cocaine users and controls were detected for pulse frequency analysis of testosterone or cortisol. Cocaine-induced hyperprolactinemia may contribute to disorders of sexual and reproductive function in men who abuse the drug, and recent reports that PRL modulates immune function suggest that cocaine-induced derangements of PRL secretion may also contribute to cocaine-related comorbidity in infectious disease. Since cocaine users with hyperprolactinemia had a higher mean valley as well as a higher peak pulse PRL height than control subjects, but did not have greater PRL pulse frequencies, we conclude that hyperprolactinemia in these men may be due to a cocaine-induced derangement of dopaminergic inhibition of basal PRL secretion.

You are correct, but take a look at this.

Effects of dopamine on prolactin: interactions with cocaine self- administration by female rhesus monkeys
NK Mello, JH Mendelson, JM Drieze, SK Teoh, ML Kelly and JW Sholar

Alcohol and Drug Abuse Research Center, McLean Hospital-Harvard Medical School, Belmont, Massachusetts.

The effects of dopamine on regulation of prolactin secretion were studied in female rhesus monkeys before cocaine exposure and again after 2 months to 2.7 years of daily cocaine self-administration. During chronic cocaine exposure, basal prolactin levels increased by 227 to 350% above drug-free control levels (P < .05). On each endocrine study day, three successive 80-min dopamine infusions (10 micrograms/kg/min i.v.) were alternated with 20-min interruptions of dopamine infusions to assess the degree of prolactin suppression and the magnitude of postdopamine prolactin increases. Dopamine significantly reduced prolactin below base-line levels within 60 to 80 min under all conditions (P < .05-.01). In four drug-naive follicular phase females, postdopamine increases in prolactin never exceeded predopamine base-line levels of 6.2 (+/- 1.8) ng/ml. After an average of 74 days of cocaine self-administration [3.7 (+/- 0.11) mg/kg/day], the postdopamine prolactin increases were significantly higher than during drug-free control conditions (P < .01) and reached hyperprolactinemic levels of 57.6 ng/ml. After an average of 300 days of cocaine self-administration [6.5 (+/- 0.06) mg/kg/day], postdopamine prolactin increases peaked at 339% above predopamine basal prolactin levels. After an average of 433 days of cocaine self-administration [6.45 (+/- 0.08) mg/kg/day] postdopamine prolactin increases remained significantly higher (P < .01) than during drug-free conditions. A similar pattern of postdopamine prolactin increases to hyperprolactinemic levels (ranging from 44.5 to 141.2 ng/ml) also were measured in two other females studied after 19 to 20 months of cocaine self-administration [6.21 (+/- 0.11) and 7.49 (+/- 0.17) mg/kg/day]. After 2.7 years of cocaine self-administration, one monkey developed persistent hyperprolactinemia and basal prolactin levels averaged 326 ng/ml after 89 days of cocaine abstinence. These data suggest that the prolactin secretory response to dopamine perturbation may provide a sensitive index of changes in dopaminergic regulation of prolactin during chronic cocaine exposure.
 
Wow - Tren never did that to me, but then again - I use Clomid/NOlva in post cycle. Cialis helps a bit for the first few weeks too :).
 
So limited use of cocaine will enhance dopamine production, but after prolonged usage the dopamine receptors which control prolactin,mainly the D2 receptors in pituitary areas become resistant? Interesting. thanks for the references.

You're most welcome.

Pretty cool huh? I was under the same assumptions as you previously mentioned.

I think that tren exhibits its sexual dysfunctional attributes, in predisposed individuals via it's progetogenic effects, similar to deca. I dont think that it induces a state of hyperprolacenemia.

In no way am I trying to discredit your statement.

I though this statement might apply to the topic:

even though i took srimidex before i was only taking .5tab eod and with ed injects of fina my prolactin sides were thru thr roof, so after blood work my doc recommended 1.5mg eod
 
Liquidmuscle,

If you are reading, would mind putting in your comments in regards to the above.
