[Serum prolactin in obese subjects with and without glucose intolerance].

Basal values of H-Prl have been assayed with reproducible RIA in two accurately selected group of subjects: 1) obese with latent glucose intolerance; 2) obese without glucose intolerance. In these patients have been valued also IRI and blood glucose (GOD-POD Biochemia). The data reported in this paper show that therein't correlation between basal H-Prl values and difference obese -- normal of IRI concentrations neither in non-diabetics nor in pre-diabetics obese. It indicate that the H-Prl not plays a controinsular role in obese-prediabetics subjects. No difference in basal values of H-Prl we found in the examined patient obese pre- and not-diabetics.
