In an attempt to relate the efficacy of treatment to endogenous hormone levels, plasma oestrogen, progesterone and prolactin levels were analysed in women at term following the vaginal administration of prostaglandin E2 gel to induce labour. Patients who went into labour after treatment had significantly higher oestradiol-17 beta levels before treatment compared with those requiring formal surgical induction the following day. No difference could be demonstrated in levels of progesterone or prolactin in the two groups of patients. The significance of these results is discussed.
为了将治疗效果与内源性激素水平相关联，对足月孕妇在阴道给予前列腺素E2凝胶引产之后的血浆雌激素、孕激素和催乳素水平进行了分析。治疗后分娩的患者与次日需要正规手术引产的患者相比，治疗前雌二醇-17β水平显著更高。两组患者的孕激素或催乳素水平未显示出差异。对这些结果的意义进行了讨论。
