Prolactinemia in Exercising Male Athletes

Abstract: 8 male collegial athletes were submitted at random to three (55, 70 and 85% of VO2 max) ergocycle exercises of 20-min duration. Venous blood samples were obtained before, during and after ergocycling sessions by antecubital catheterization. Serum prolactin was measured by RIA using specific antiserum. The exercise treatments induced a blood prolactin response proportional to the intensity of the work loads.

“…Once returned to basal leves, all variables remained constant, thus excluding major effects of lack of food and fluid intake. In general, these findings are in line with previous reports on the endocrine and metabolic effects of exercise (2,3,5,8,9,12,18,20,23,24). At the end of the match, HGH, prolactin, and blood glucose had already returned to control levels.…”

“…The effect of muscular exercise upon the endocrine system has been studied extensively in various sports (17). An increase in ACTH, cortisol, prolactin, and HGH has been observed following both aerobic and anaerobic exercises with some differences in regard to the intensity and the duration of the work load (1,2,3,5,6,8,10,18,22).…”

“…Prolactin‐releasing stimuli include suckling, light, audition, olfaction and stress. PRL is also known to increase acutely in response to exercise or even immediately after sexual activity (4–7). One or more PRFs probably mediate the acute release of PRL as in suckling and stress.…”

“…Physical exercise has been repeatedly as sociated with changes in blood prolactin (PRL) levels in man [Noelet al, 1972;Sowers et al, 1977;Dessypris et al, 1979;Gawel et al, 1979;Hagen and Galbo, 1979;Cohen et al, 1980;Brisson et al, 1981Nguyen et al, 1982;Schmid et al, 1983] as well as in woman [Noel et al, 1972;Brisson et al, 1980;Cohen et al, 1980;Shangold et al, 1981] . In exercise, these PRL variations have been linked to a variety of factors, including emotional load, alimentary habits, ambiant temperature, stress, hemoconcentration, work intensity and level of physical training.…”
