Abstract

Metabolic and endocrine abnormalities secondary to hyperprolactinemia, such as hypogonadism and hyperandrogenicity, may be involved in the excessive body weight gain induced by antipsychotic drugs in women. The present study was conducted in healthy premenopausal women, in order to detect an endocrine imbalance secondary to antipsychotic drug administration, which, if sustained in the long term, might be involved in the development of obesity. After a control menstrual cycle, sulpiride (200 mg/day) or placebo was nonblindly administered for 28 days; blood lipids and the serum levels of the following hormones which are involved in body weight regulation were assessed at days 3, 10, 20 and 26 of the cycle: prolactin (PRL), 17-beta estradiol (E2), progesterone (P4), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), free testosterone (T5), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), cortisol, tyrotropic hormone (TSH), tetraiodothyroxine (T4), and the areas under the insulin and glucose tolerance curve. During sulpiride administration, the following changes were observed when compared to placebo administration: PRL levels were significantly increased; E2 levels were significantly reduced at days 10 and 20; P4 levels were sig...Continue Reading
