AbstractThis study was designed to evaluate trace element metabolism in patients with prolactinoma. The mean concentrations of zinc in plasma, erythrocytes and urine, copper in plasma and erythrocytes and selenium in plasma were within normal limits before and after surgery. Urinary copper excretion was significantly lower than in controls, before surgery (<0.05) and rose towards normal after treatment. Erythrocyte manganese content was significantly lower than in controls, in patients with prolactinoma before surgery P<0.05) and rose towards normal after treatment.
