The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis in patients with nontumoral [corrected] hyperprolactinemia.

Objective: In physiological conditions, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) axis is under continuous tonic inhibition by dopamine. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship of nontumoural hyperprolactinemia with the activity of adrenocortical and RAA axis, before and after administration of bromocriptine.

Design: Twenty women with nontumoural hyperprolactinemia and 20 healthy women matched for body mass index and age were recruited in this study.
