title: [Prolactin in the serum of mothers and neonates and in the amniotic fluid of pregnant women with hypertensive disease].
abstract: In 106 pregnant women (32-41 gestation weeks) prolactin values were determined in the sera of mothers and fetuses and in the amniotic fluid by the radioimmunological method in m IU L. Four group of parturients and their newborns were examined: Group I (n = 18) contained parturients with hypertensive disease and pre-term delivery, group II (n = 27) parturients with pre-term delivery, group III (n = 25) parturients with hypertensive disease and at-term delivery, and group IV (n = 36) normal parturients with at-term delivery. Prolactin values (mean +/- SD) in the serum of parturients with pre-term delivery (group I 8,311 +/- 2,654 and group II 8,203 +/- 2,647) and in those with at-term delivery (group III 9,656 +/- 3,145 and group IV 9,873 +/- 3,062) showed no significant differences (p greater than 0.05). Prolactin values in the serum of the umbilical cord artery proved significantly higher (p less than 0.05) in parturients with pre-term delivery (group I 11,598 +/- 2,923, group II 9,632 +/- 3,009) and at-term delivery (group III 13,266 +/- 3,015, group IV 11,243 +/- 3,123) in hypertension-affected women. A significantly higher (p less than 0.01) prolactin value was recorded in the amniotic fluid of parturients with pre-term delivery (group I 23,367 +/- 3,896, group II 19,715 +/- 4,128) and at-term delivery (group III 22,755 +/- 4,938, group IV 18,638 +/- 4,724) affected by hypertensive disease. The difference between the prolactin level in parturients with the meconium and clear amniotic fluid (22,059 +/- 5,465 and 19,263 +/- 5,673) was not significant (p greater than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
