Sex-Specific Associations of Prolactin and Progesterone With Glycemic Control in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes
This study provides novel evidence that prolactin and progesterone may be linked to improved glycemic control in men with T1D. These associations were not observed in women. The findings underscore the importance of sex-specific approaches in endocrine and metabolic research. Further longitudinal and mechanistic studies are needed to confirm these relationships and explore the potential of prolactin and progesterone as therapeutic targets in T1D management.
