[PMID: 37424413 PMCID: PMC10335910 DOI: 10.9758/cpn.22.979] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2022] [Revised: 04/11/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2022] [Indexed: 07/11/2023]
Abstract
Objective To develop an evidence-based guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia by adapting existing high-quality clinical guidelines with a view to improve the clinical symptoms and long-term quality of life of patients by providing appropriate management. Methods This guideline was developed according to the ADAPTE methodology. The adaptation process included determining key health questions, systematically searching and screening guidelines, evaluating the quality and contents of these guidelines, deriving recommendations for key questions, and performing a peer review. The selection criteria for the guideline search were (1) evidence-based guidelines, (2) published within the last 5 years, and (3) written in English or Korean. Results After evaluating the quality and content, we finally selected three guidelines for adaptation. The final output of the development process was 25 recommendations for 10 key questions. We adopted the Agency for Health Research Quality methodology and presented the level of evidence from levels I to IV. In addition, we defined the recommendation grades from grade A (strongly recommended) to D (no recommendation) based on the level of evidence and clinical significance of the recommendation. Conclusion The development and dissemination of the adapted guideline is expected to increase the certainty of medical decision making and improve the quality of medical care. Further studies on the effectiveness and applicability of the developed guideline are necessary.

Sun X, Zhu K, Feng C, Zhu J, Chen S, Tang W, Wang Z, Xiao L, Li H, Geng D, Wang Z. Paeoniflorin Ameliorates Hyperprolactinemia-Induced Inhibition of Osteoblastogenesis by Suppressing the NF- κB Signaling Pathway. Int J Endocrinol 2022; 2022:4572033. [PMID: 35465073 PMCID: PMC9033376 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4572033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2021] [Revised: 02/16/2022] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Hyperprolactinemia is a common endocrine disease in women of reproductive age. Research has shown that patients with hyperprolactinemia often have decreased bone mineral density and an increased risk of fractures. However, there is still a lack of effective treatments. Paeoniflorin, one of the primary bioactive components in peony, is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. Research has shown that paeoniflorin promotes osteoblast differentiation. However, whether paeoniflorin plays a role in hyperprolactinemia-induced osteoblastogenesis inhibition is not yet clear. In this study, we investigated the effect of paeoniflorin on prolactin (PRL)-mediated inhibition of osteoblast function. Our results showed that prolactin significantly reduced the expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Osterix, and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) in MC3T3-E1 cells cultured in an osteoblast differentiation medium, suggesting that prolactin inhibited osteoblast function. After treatment with paeoniflorin (PF), the expression of these osteoblast markers was upregulated. In addition, our findings proved that paeoniflorin increased the absorbance values of ALP-positive cells and the areas of alizarin red S (ARS) deposition compared to those in the prolactin group, suggesting that paeoniflorin reversed the PRL-induced reduction in osteoblast differentiation. The PRL-induced activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) was significantly reversed by paeoniflorin, indicating that paeoniflorin promoted osteoblast function by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway. In summary, these results showed that paeoniflorin alleviated the inhibitory effect of prolactin on osteoblastogenesis by suppressing the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
Psychotropic medication treatment can cause elevated serum prolactin levels and hyperprolactinaemia (HPRL). Reports have suggested that aripiprazole may decrease elevated prolactin. The aim of this review was to assess evidence for the efficacy of adjunct aripiprazole in the treatment of psychotropic-induced HPRL. PubMed and Google Scholar were searched to identify randomised placebo-controlled trials (RCTs) of adjunct aripiprazole in patients with HPRL attributed to primary psychotropic medications. Data for individual patients from case studies, chart reviews and open-label studies were also identified and assessed. Six RCTs, with a total of 609 patients, met inclusion criteria. Primary psychotropics included risperidone, haloperidol, paliperidone, fluphenazine and loxapine. Reductions in prolactin from baseline, before the introduction of aripiprazole, were significantly greater for adjunct aripiprazole than for adjunct placebo in all the studies (p = 0.04 to p < 0.0001). Normalisation of serum prolactin levels was significantly more likely with adjunct aripiprazole than adjunct placebo (p = 0.028 to p < 0.001, data from three studies). Improvement or resolution of HPRL-related symptoms (galactorrhoea, oligomenorrhoea, amenorrhoea and sexual dysfunction) were reported in three studies. Prolactin levels decreased in all case reports and in both of two open-label studies; they normalised in 30/41 patients (73.2%) in case studies and 12/29 (41.4%) in the open-label studies. Adjunct aripiprazole was statistically significantly effective in treating elevated serum prolactin levels in six RCTs. Evidence from case reports and open-label studies suggests a degree of effectiveness in most patients.

Abstract
Background Antipsychotic medication, stress, gender, and age are factors that influence prolactin levels in patients with psychosis. The aim of the study was to investigate the level of prolactin response to antipsychotic treatment in acute patients, taking into account the total duration of psychosis. Methods and findings The study was conducted on 170 acute patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders and bipolar disorder. Subjects were divided into three subgroups according to the duration of the psychosis (less than 5 years, between 5 and 10 years and more than 10 years of disorder duration). The initial prolactin response under antipsychotic treatment was measured, while the severity of the psychiatric symptoms was assessed with the BPRS (Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale). Hyperprolactinemia was found in 120 (70.6%) patients, amongst which 80 (66.7%) were females and 40 (33.3%) were males. The average increase in prolactinemia was 2.46 times the maximum value in women, and 1.59 times in men. Gender (β = 0.27, p<0.0001), type of antipsychotic medication according to potency of inducing hyperprolactinemia (β = -0.23, p<0.003), and the duration of psychosis over 10 years (β = -0.15, p = 0.04) significantly predicted prolactin levels, when age, diagnosis, antipsychotic category (conventional/atypical/combinations of antipsychotics), and BPRS total scores were controlled for. Conclusions and relevance Prolactin levels in patients treated with antipsychotic medication appeared to depend on patients’ gender, on the type of antipsychotic medication according to potency of inducing hyperprolactinemia, and on the duration of the psychosis. An increase in prolactin levels was associated with female gender, while the use of prolactin sparing antipsychotics and a duration of psychosis over 10 years were associated with lower prolactin levels.

Abstract
Objectives: Hyperprolactinemia (HPRL), defined as plasma prolactin (PRL) >25 ng/ml, is a frequent adverse effect of the treatment with some antipsychotics. The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of HPRL among schizophrenic patients treated with long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotic drugs at our hospital, and to estimate gender effects in PRL levels in these patients. Methods: This cross-sectional, retrospective, study analyzed 165 psychotic patients treatment with LAI antipsychotics in monotherapy from February to May of 2017 at the Psychiatry Specialized Care Units of the Elche General Hospital (Spain). Results: The prevalence of antipsychotic-derived HPRL in our hospital was 52.41%. Patients treated with LAI formulations of paliperidone and risperidone presented the highest levels of HPRL. A linear regression model showed that female patients presented 24.95 ng/ml (CI95 = 16.85, 33.05) higher levels of PRL than male patients (p < .0001). For women, age >45 years was associated to reduced levels of PRL with respect to younger patients (mean= -18.86 ng/ml, CI95 = -35.59, -2.13, p < .05). Conclusions: Our study confirmed the effects of LAI paliperidone and risperidone on PRL levels. Sex and age were significantly associated with PRL levels in patients treated with LAI antipsychotics, with younger women presenting higher rates of HPRL than men. Key points HPRL is a common adverse effect of the treatment with antipsychotics, detectable in over half of the patients treated in our hospital. Our study showed that treatment with LAI formulations of paliperidone and risperidone resulted in the highest levels of HPRL. Sex and age were significantly associated with PRL levels in patients treated with LAI antipsychotic drugs, with younger women presenting higher rates of HPRL than men.

Abstract
Antidepressant-related sexual dysfunction is a frequent adverse event caused by serotonergic activation that intensely affects quality of life and adherence in depressed patients. The dopamine system has multiple effects promoting sexual behavior, but no studies have been carried out to confirm dopaminergic changes involved in animal models after antidepressant use. Methods: The sexual behavior-related dopaminergic system in the rat was studied by comparing two different antidepressants and placebo for 28 days. The antidepressants used were paroxetine (a serotonergic antidepressant that causes highly frequent sexual dysfunction in humans) and agomelatine (a non-serotonergic antidepressant without associated sexual dysfunction). The tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity (THI) in the substantia nigra pars compacta, the ventral tegmental area, the zona incerta, and the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus, as well as the dopaminergic projections to the striatum, hippocampus, cortex, and median eminence were analyzed. Results: The THI decreased significantly in the substantia nigra and ventral tegmental area after treatment with paroxetine, and the labeling was reduced drastically in the zona incerta and mediobasal hypothalamus. The immunoreactive axons in the target regions (striatum, cortex, hippocampus, and median eminence) almost disappeared only in the paroxetine-treated rats. Conversely, after treatment with agomelatine, a moderate reduction in immunoreactivity in the substantia nigra was found without appreciable modifications in the ventral tegmental area, zona incerta, and mediobasal hypothalamus. Nevertheless, no sexual or copulatory behavior was observed in any of the experimental or control groups. Conclusion: Paroxetine but not agomelatine was associated with important decreased activity in dopaminergic areas such as the substantia nigra and ventral tegmental areas that could be associated with sexual performance impairment in humans after antidepressant treatment.

Abstract
RATIONALE Hyperprolactinemia is a highly prevalent adverse effect of many antipsychotic agents, with potentially serious health consequences. Several guidelines have been developed for the management of this condition; yet, their concordance has not been evaluated. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this paper were (1) to review current clinical guidelines; (2) to review key systematic evidence for management; and (3) based on our findings, to develop an integrated management recommendation specific to male and female patients who are otherwise clinically stabilised on antipsychotics. METHODS We performed searches of Medline and EMBASE, supplemented with guideline-specific database and general web searches, to identify clinical guidelines containing specific recommendations for antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia, produced/updated 01/01/2010-15/09/2016. A separate systematic search was performed to identify emerging management approaches described in reviews and meta-analyses published ≥ 2010. RESULTS There is some consensus among guidelines relating to baseline PRL screening (8/12 guidelines), screening for differential diagnosis (7/12) and discontinuing/switching PRL-raising agent (7/12). Guidelines otherwise diverge substantially regarding most aspects of screening, monitoring and management (e.g. treatment with dopamine agonists). There is an omission of clear sex-specific recommendations. Systematic literature on management approaches is promising; more research is needed. An integrated management recommendation is presented to guide sex-specific clinical response to antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia. Key aspects include asymptomatic hyperprolactinemia monitoring and fertility considerations with PRL normalisation. CONCLUSION Further empirical work is key to shaping robust guidelines for antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia. The integrated management recommendation can assist clinician and patient decision-making, with the goal of balancing effective psychiatric treatment while minimising PRL-related adverse health effects in male and female patients.
