No association between bone mass and prolactin levels among patients with schizophrenia

Abstract: These findings suggest that prolactin levels do not contribute to poor bone mass, as assessed using the OSI among schizophrenic patients. However, the interpretation of our results was hampered by lack of data including differences in lifestyle and type of antipsychotic medications used in schizophrenic patients. Association between prolactin levels and low bone mineral density was not completely ruled out. Future research exploring prolactin levels and bone mineral density is warranted.

“…It is likely that this reflects an antagonistic action of ( À )-OSU6162 on pituitary dopamine D2 receptors, which in the intact system mediate tonic inhibition of prolactin release. The highest prolactin levels observed in this study, however, were still 2-4 times lower than those found in male patients treated with therapeutic doses of amisulpiride (Bressan et al, 2004), and they were lower than mean prolactin levels in male patients with schizophrenia under antipsychotic treatment (Sugawara et al, 2011).…”

“…The osteosono-assessment index (OSI) was calculated as a function of SOS and TI, using the TI value multiplied by the square of the SOS value [19]. We assessed the precision of quantitative ultrasound densitometry, and intratest precision was calculated from 3 repeated scans with repositioning in 17 volunteers; the short-term coefficient of variation was 2.6% for the OSI measure [20]. Low bone mass was defined as a level equal to or less than -1.0 standard deviation below the mean OSI value of the reference group aged 20 to 39 years old.…”
