120 patients with PCOS were determined respectively, among them, 30 patients were classified by TCM syndrome |
Elevated level of T, LH and LH/FSH ratio, PRL and INS are correlated with the TCM syndrome type of SYiD, SYaD, GSH and PYD in patients with PCOS respectively, and being the clinical characteristics of the corresponding syndromes. |

224 women with PCOS and 30 women with hyperPRL + PCOS were compared |
Patients with hyperPRL + PCOS develop the endocrine disturbances at a younger age, a greater incidence rate of acne, level of prolactin and androstenedione, they have reduced ApoB and increased HOMA-IR. Patients' sisters with hyperPRL + PCOS have significantly greater incidence of acne, higher rates of infertility and PCOS as when compared with PCOS patients. |

hyperprolactinaemic patients and control group (healthy subjects) |
Diagnosis of hyperprolactinaemia should be associated with estimation of PRL biological activity because it is important for type of hyperprolactinaemia management. Low biological activity of PRL does not impair FSH and LH secretion and does not cause hypoestrogenism |

Hyperprolactinemia after ovarian cauterization may be considered as a possible cause of anovulation in women with polycystic ovaries and improved gonadotropin and androgen levels. The cause of hyperprolactinemia is unknown. Hormonal assay particularly PRL in anovulatory patients after ovarian cauterization is recommended. |

Therefore, macroprolactinemia must be ruled out in women presenting with hyperandrogenic symptoms and increased serum PRL concentrations to avoid misdiagnosis (hyperprolactinemia is an exclusion criterion for the diagnosis of PCOS), unnecessary diagnostic tests, and inappropriate use of dopaminergic agonists. |

In conclusion, PCOS is associated with insulin resistance; non-obese hyperprolactinemic PCOS patients may be more insulin-resistant than normoprolactinemics and there may be an association between hyperprolactinemia and insulin resistance in PCOS. |

The concomitant pulsatile releases of gonadotropin and PRL are essential to reproductive function and their regulatory controls in the follicular phase may be mediated through a common neuroendocrine mechanism in normal and hypogonadal women. |

The results show that obesity is an important inhibiting factor of serum prolactin level suppression which occurs with a mild suppressive test, as the OGTT; however, hyperandrogenemia may also play an inhibiting role in serum prolactin level suppression. |

The data suggests that elevated serum PRL reduces the frequency of LH (GnRH) secretion by increasing hypothalamic opioid activity and suggest that the anovulation in hyperprolactinemia is consequent upon persistent slow frequency LH (GnRH) secretion. |

In conclusion, hyperprolactinaemia is as relatively frequent condition which affects almost half the patients suffering from PCO and is probably related to an increase of serum oestrogens, mostly oestrone. Moreover, in patients with PCO and hyperprolactinaemia, the production of some other steroids is also affected. |
