Description
Possible relationships between prolactin production and pregnancy induced hypertension were studied. Plasma prolactin levels were significantly higher in women with a pregnancy induced hypertension (290±113ng/ml) than in normotensive pregnant women (146±32ng/ml). There was the positive correlation between blood pressure and plasma prolactin levels. Thus, prolactin, as related to pregnancy induced hypertension warrants further study.
