Synchronous secretion of LH and prolactin during the normal menstrual cycle.
Integrated hourly concentrations of day-time prolactin and LH showed significant positive correlations (p < 0.05-0.001) on the day of the pre-ovulatory mid cycle LH surge (n = 3) and during the mid luteal phase (n = 6) in a group of regularly cyclic women. No correlations between these two hormones were seen during any other stage of the cycle. Consistent significant correlations were not evident between prolactin and oestradiol, prolactin and progesterone, LH and oestradiol or LH and progesterone during any other stage of the cycle.
