Daily hormonal studies during nine ovulatory menstrual cycles showed that plasma prolactin and testosterone concentrations fluctuated randomly and independently. Mean plasma testosterone levels were found to be higher during the 7 days before and after the mid-cycle LH peak when compared to the premenstrual phase (P less than 0-01). No correlation was found between daily levels of prolactin and those of LH, FSH, oestrogen or progesterone and no correlation was seen between peaks of prolactin and testosterone or mean prolactin and testosterone levels. The lack of correlation between blood levels of prolactin and testosterone during the menstrual cycle suggests that prolactin is unlikely to have any direct controlling influence on the cyclical nature of testosterone production observed during ovulatory menstrual cycles.
在九个排卵性月经周期中进行的每日激素研究表明，血浆催乳素和睾酮浓度随机且独立波动。发现与经前期相比，在月经周期中期促黄体生成素（LH）峰值前后7天内，血浆睾酮平均水平更高（P<0.01）。未发现催乳素的每日水平与LH、促卵泡生成素（FSH）、雌激素或孕酮的每日水平之间存在相关性，也未发现催乳素峰值与睾酮峰值或催乳素平均水平与睾酮水平之间存在相关性。月经周期中催乳素与睾酮血水平之间缺乏相关性表明，催乳素不太可能对排卵性月经周期中观察到的睾酮产生的周期性本质有任何直接控制作用。
