| Abstract: | Starting from the 10th day of the menstrual cycle through onset of the subsequent menstrual bleeding, daily blood samples were collected from 14 women using Copper T IUDs and 10 normal control women. The serum samples were analysed by radioimmunoassay (RIA) for human prolactin (hPRL) and human luteinizing hormone (hLH). hPRL values were subjected to statistics. Episodic patterns of hPRL were observed for all subjects. IUD users show generally lower daily levels of hPRL than non-IUD users, but the apparent differences were statistically insignificant. |
