    Abstract Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) account for approximately 30% of all deaths globally. The most important cause of CVD is atherothrombosis, in other words, narrowing of the arteries as a result of the deposition of cholesterol and other lipoid substances within the arterial wall. Several endocrine disorders have been linked to this pathological state. Recent clinical and experimental studies have suggested that prolactin, a pleiotropic pituitary hormone, may potentially contribute to CVD, either through direct modulation of local cellular processes within atherosclerotic plaques/thrombi and/or through influencing conventional cardiovascular metabolic risk factors. However, the precise role of prolactin in the pathology of CVD remains largely unknown. Here, the authors speculate whether prolactin-lowering treatment may become a future therapeutic approach in patients with elevated prolactin levels and concomitantly presenting with coexisting vascular disease or a significantly elevated risk for premature atherothrombotic vascular disease. Awareness of these new developments may also change our clinical opinions about therapeutic strategies in patients with prolactinomas.

    Abstract Background: Prolactin is increasingly recognized to play a stimulatory role in the inflammatory response. Because inflammation is considered of crucial importance in the development of atherosclerosis, we aimed to evaluate whether prolactin levels are associated with the occurrence of coronary artery disease (CAD).
    Methods and results: We performed a nested case-control study in the prospective EPIC-Norfolk cohort. Cases were apparently healthy men and women, aged 45 to 79 years, who developed fatal or nonfatal CAD (n=882). Controls remained free of CAD (n=1490). Overall, systemic prolactin levels did not differ between cases and controls, and people in the highest prolactin tertile did not have a significantly increased risk of developing future CAD (in men, odds ratio, 1.21; 95% CI, 0.92 to 1.61; in women, odds ratio, 1.12; 95% CI, 0.76 to 1.64). However, in a separate immunohistochemical study, the presence of prolactin receptors could be demonstrated in postmortem human coronary artery plaques (preliminary data).
    Conclusions: Elevated systemic prolactin levels do not predict CAD in the general population. However, prolactin receptors were found in human coronary artery plaques. This observation may indicate a role of prolactin within atherosclerotic plaques. More studies are needed to define the possible role of prolactin in atherosclerotic plaque development.
