Article Synopsis
- The study assessed body fat in nonobese women with prolactinoma treated with dopamine agonists using DXA and examined the relationship between body fat, hormone levels, and clinical factors.
- Women with prolactinoma had similar body fat percentages to control subjects, but those with normal prolactin (PRL) levels showed lower body fat across all evaluated areas.
- The findings suggest that appropriate dopamine agonist treatment can reduce body fat and lower the risk of Metabolic Syndrome in these patients.
