Basal plasma prolactin (hPRL) concentration is low, but the response to thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) is within the normal range, in children with protein-carlorie malnutrition (PCM) before treatment. Treatment results in increased basal hPRL concentration and an increased response to TRH. The above findings contrast with normal or high basal TSH and the normal or exaggerated response to TRH provocation in untreated PCM. The reason for this divergence is obscure.
在接受治疗前，蛋白质 - 热量营养不良（PCM）儿童的基础血浆催乳素（hPRL）浓度较低，但对促甲状腺激素释放激素（TRH）的反应在正常范围内。治疗会导致基础hPRL浓度升高以及对TRH的反应增强。上述发现与未经治疗的PCM中基础促甲状腺激素（TSH）正常或升高以及对TRH激发试验的正常或过度反应形成对比。这种差异的原因尚不清楚。
