Prolactinomas e densidade mineral óssea em homens

Abstract: Throughout the years evidence has been accumulated on the morbidity of hyperprolactinemia, particularly in terms of bone mineral density decrease. This complication of hyperprolactinemia affects both women and men. In this paper, we analyze aspects related to bone loss in men with hyperprolactinemia due to prolactinomas: prevalence, clinical relevance, physiopathology, diagnosis and the consequences of the treatment of hyperprolactinemia and hypogonadism on bone mineral density.

“…To date, and to our knowledge, few data are available on the impact of hyperprolactinemia on bone metabolism in children and adolescents [20]. In adult patients, discussions are ongoing on the possibility of a direct effect or an effect mediated via hypoestrogenism [21,22]. Colao et al [23] found significantly lower values of bone mineral density in adolescent patients with hyperprolactinemia than in their sex- and age-matched controls and also lower bone mineral density values corrected for age in the adolescent patients with hyperprolactinemia than in the young adult patients.…”

“…Sabe-se que a massa óssea diminui a partir dos 30 anos de 1 a 2% nas mulheres e de 0,3 a 1% nos homens. A massa óssea é maior nos homens do que nas mulheres, pois eles possuem esqueletos maiores; além disso, o período de perda óssea se inicia mais tardiamente nos homens do que nas mulheres, cerca de uma década depois 12 . Estudos têm demonstrado que um dos principais fatores na prevenção de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, tais como osteoporose e fraturas subsequentes no futuro, é a tentativa de atingir o pico ideal de massa óssea durante a adolescência ou no final da maturação esquelética 13,14 .…”
