Human prolactin and thyrotropin concentrations in the serums of normal and hypopituitary children before and after the administration of synthetic thyrotropin-releasing hormone

Abstract

Synthetic thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) was administered to normal children and hypopituitary patients in a dose of 7 μg/kg i.v. over 30-60 sec. Serum thyrotropin (TSH) and prolactin (HPr) concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay before and at 15-min intervals for 2 hr after TRH. In 20 normal children HPr rose from a mean baseline value of 7.0±1.2 (SEM) ng/ml to a mean peak value of 39.5±5 ng/ml.
