Failure of 2-hydroxyoestrone to lower prolactin concentrations in hyperprolactinaemic women.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Since panhypopituitarism in patients with Sheehan's syndrome is due to massive pituitary necrosis with only minor hypothalamic involvement, we hypothesized that serum TSH levels would be low but its circadian rhythm preserved in these patients. DESIGN AND PATIENTS:Basal and TRH-stimulated mean afternoon (150...
