homovanillic acid and Hyperprolactinemia

homovanillic acid has been researched along with Hyperprolactinemia in 4 studies

Homovanillic Acid: A 3-O-methyl ETHER of (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acetic acid.
homovanillate : A hydroxy monocarboxylic acid anion which is obtained by deprotonation of the carboxy group of homovanillic acid.
homovanillic acid : A monocarboxylic acid that is the 3-O-methyl ether of (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acetic acid. It is a catecholamine metabolite.

Hyperprolactinemia: Increased levels of PROLACTIN in the BLOOD, which may be associated with AMENORRHEA and GALACTORRHEA. Relatively common etiologies include PROLACTINOMA, medication effect, KIDNEY FAILURE, granulomatous diseases of the PITUITARY GLAND, and disorders which interfere with the hypothalamic inhibition of prolactin release. Ectopic (non-pituitary) production of prolactin may also occur. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1992, Ch36, pp77-8)

" We report, for the first time, the case of a man with depression experiencing hyperprolactinemia and galactopoiesis induced by ECT with the results of the plasma levels of homovanillic acid and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol."3.78The case of a depressed man who exhibited hyperprolactinemia and galactopoiesis after electroconvulsive therapy.
