Delitala G, Masala A, Alagna S, Devilla L
Published in Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism
Methodology
Controlled endocrine study of pyridoxine administration on basal and stimulated prolactin secretion in humans.
Key Findings
Pyridoxine acutely suppressed prolactin release through dopaminergic stimulation, but the effect was short-lived and did not normalise pathological hyperprolactinaemia.
Conclusions
Vitamin B6 exerts only transient dopaminergic prolactin suppression.
Limitations
Very small, dated study; acute design only.
Supplements Studied
Pyridoxine acutely suppressed prolactin release through dopaminergic stimulation, but the effect was short-lived
Outcomes Measured
Pyridoxine acutely suppressed prolactin release through dopaminergic stimulation, but the effect was short-lived and did not normalise pathological hyperprolactinaemia
