PRL and type 2 diabetes mellitus: A large population-based Study of Health in Pomerania reveals that PRL levels are significantly associated with the inflammatory biomarker interleukin-6 and white blood cells counts, indicating a possible role of PRL in inflammation.26 This is of relevance considering the role of inflammation in T2D.27 After adjusting for multiple variables, Haring et al. identify in a very large population-based Study of Health in Pomerania a significant association of continuous PRL with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular death-specific mortality in men and women.
