Objectives: Pituitary diseases may cause psychiatric and personality alterations. We aimed to compare the personality traits of acromegalic patients with those of patients with non-functioning pituitary adenomas and a healthy control group.
Design: Fifty-eight acromegalic patients, 45 patients with non-functioning adenoma, and 40 healthy subjects were enrolled in the study.
Although there is not enough strong molecular evidence for radiation to be a causal factor for the development of secondary brain tumors, a relationship has still been found. There is a slight but significant 2-2.7% increased risk of secondary brain tumors after conventional radiotherapy.

- The study explores how high prolactin levels (hyperprolactinemia) impact metabolic factors in premenopausal women with conditions like prolactinoma and idiopathic hyperprolactinemia.
- Results showed that women with hyperprolactinemia had significantly higher insulin levels and insulin resistance compared to healthy women, while other health metrics like body weight and adiponectin levels remained similar.
- The findings suggest that elevated prolactin may lead to increased insulin production and resistance, operating independently of factors like body weight and levels of leptin and adiponectin.
