Prolactin and gonadotrophin changes following generalised and partial seizures.
Postictal values of prolactin, LH and FSH have been recorded in patients with both generalised tonic-clonic and partial seizures. Elevations of prolactin and LH were seen immediately and at 20 minutes in males and females with generalised attacks. At sixty minutes values for prolactin had fallen to baseline levels, but LH remained elevated. FSH values were increased in females only, at twenty a...

Serial plasma prolactin levels were measured following eighteen generalised seizures, ten partial seizures and eight pseudoseizures. Prolactin levels were elevated following generalised seizures, but were normal following the other seizure types. Plasma prolactin levels may, therefore, be helpful in differentiating between generalised and pseudoseizures. The optimal time for estimating the prol...

Evidence that hypothalamic control of prolactin and gonadotrophic hormones is mediated through relatively discrete mechanisms (McNeilly, 1974) suggested that a study of these hormones during treatment of anorexia nervosa mi...
