Dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate plasma levels in normal women and patients with benign breast disease.

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate plasma levels were measured in patients with benign breast disease and in healthy women. In addition the adrenal secretion of dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate was assessed by means of an ACTH stimulation test in some patients and control subjects. The results obtained demonstrate that dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate plasma levels of patients with benign breast disease overlap those found in controls and that the adrenal response to ACTH of patients with breast pathology does not differ from that of healthy women.

Endocrine aspects of benign breast disease.

The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHAS) in the plasma of women with benign breast disease (BBD) and in normal subjects. Possible changes in DHAS plasma levels and in its adrenal secretion under adrenocorticotrophin hormone (ACTH) were also investigated in women with BBD before and after bromocriptine therapy. Our results demonstrate that plasma levels of DHAS in women with BBD overlap with those found in controls. Prolactin (PRL) suppression in women with BBD receiving bromocriptine treatment was associated with a significant (p less than 0.02) decrease of baseline DHAS plasma levels and of stimulated ACTH response curve (p less than 0.02). These data suggest a possible relationship between PRL and DHAS secretion in women with BBD.

Prolactin secretion and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate plasma levels in women with benign breast disease.

The purpose of the present investigation was to verify possible positive correlations between prolactin secretion and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate levels in plasma of women with benign breast disease. Prolactin secretion was evaluated in terms of basal levels, maximum peak, percent increase above baseline levels, total integrated area, response area after TRH stimulation. No correlation was found between the parameters of prolactin secretion and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate levels.

Hormonal profile in benign breast disease. Endocrine status of cyclical mastalgia patients.

Plasma levels of prolactin, before and after TRH stimulation, progesterone, estradiol, sex-hormone-binding-globulin, androstenedione, testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate were determined in a group of women with benign breast disease and in control group, in order to correlate a possible hormonal disorder to breast pathology. The hormonal pattern in the patients with benign breast disease was characterized by an increased responsiveness of lactotrophes to TRH stimulation and by higher levels of sex hormone binding globulin, probably sustained by an underlying hyperestrogenism.
