Serum prolactin and oestradiol levels at different stages of puberty. 1977

M O Thorner, and J Round, and A Jones, and D Fahmy, and G V Groom, and S Butcher, and K Thompson

Serum prolactin and oestradiol levels were measured in 183 children who were staged for pubertal development. Mean serum prolactin levels are higher in girls than in boys at stage 3 of pubertal development. In girls prolactin levels rise at stage 2, and are higher after menarche; in boys there is no change in prolactin levels. In this study serum oestradiol correlates with prolactin in the girls, but not in the boys.

D008572 Menarche The first MENSTRUAL CYCLE marked by the initiation of MENSTRUATION.
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.
