However, nearly 10% of prolactinomas do not respond to DA therapy. A considerable number of studies have shown that estrogen plays an important role in the development of prolactinomas. However, the expression of estrogen receptors (ER) in prolactinomas has not been fully explored. Accordingly, we examined the levels of ESR1 and its subtypes A5-DeI-ESR1 and ESR2 mRNA in prolactinomas. In the present study,展开更多
