Serum prolactin levels in short-term and long-term use of inert plastic and copper intrauterine devices. 1979

M Wenof, and J M Aubert, and J V Reyniak

Serum prolactin values were assessed in 59 normally menstruating parous women; groups were divided with respect to short-term (6 weeks) and long-term (4-60 months) use of either the inert plastic IUD (Saf-T-Coil or Lippes Loop) or copper IUD (Cu-7). Preinsertion values served as controls in the short-term study while a separate control group using barrier contraception was used in the long-term study. Prospective analysis of short-term IUD use and retrospective analysis of long-term IUD use revealed no significant differences in mean hPRL compared to control values. Both short- and long-term mean values were within the normal range for serum hPRL. In addition, duration of use had no significant effect on hPRL values.

D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.

The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
