title: [Plasma prolactin levels in normal children from birth to adolescence].
abstract: Plasma prolactin levels were determined by an homologous radio-immuno assay in normal children: in cord blood, at the first day of life, during childhood and along puberty. 1. In both sexes, there is a very important secretion of prolactin during the neonatal period. 2. Longitudinal studies make obvious a different pattern of plasma prolactin in boys and in girls at puberty.
