Copeptin response to hypoglycemic stress is linked to prolactin activation in children

ConclusionOur data indicate that: (1) hypoglycemic stress elicits a marked copeptin response in children and adolescents, pointing out its role as an acute stress marker in this population; (2) stress-induced AVP/copeptin release is associated with anterior pituitary activation, mainly a prolactin response.
