Impact of menopause on outcomes in prolactinomas after dopamine agonist treatment withdrawal.

abstract：CONTEXT:Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma) agonists such as thiazolidinediones (TZDs) improve insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) through effects on fat metabolism whereas GH stimulates lipolysis and induces insulin resistance. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the impact of TZDs on f...
