Prolactin concentration and palmitic acid/stearic acid ratio were measured in 92 samples of amniotic fluid at various gestational ages. There was no correlation between prolactin concentration and palmitic acid/stearic acid ratio, when this ratio was greater than 5, that is when there was an obvious indication that fetal pulmonary maturation was complete. On the contrary there was a statistically significant negative correlation between prolactin levels and palmitic acid/stearic acid ratio when this ratio was lower than 5 (incomplete fetal pulmonary maturation).
在不同孕周的92份羊水样本中测量了催乳素浓度和棕榈酸/硬脂酸比值。当该比值大于5时，即有明显迹象表明胎儿肺成熟完成时，催乳素浓度与棕榈酸/硬脂酸比值之间无相关性。相反，当该比值低于5（胎儿肺成熟不完全）时，催乳素水平与棕榈酸/硬脂酸比值之间存在统计学上显著的负相关。
