Levels of prolactin and cortisol were measured in plasma from 18 non-pregnant patients attending a general gynaecological outpatient clinic for the first time. Each patient was seen by one of two clinicians and blood samples were taken at six different stages of the clinical interview and examination. No significant changes in the levels of prolactin or cortisol were observed suggesting that pulsatile secretion and the response to the stress of an outpatient gynaecological visit are not important factors in the interpretation of plasma prolactin levels.
对首次前往普通妇科门诊的18名非妊娠患者的血浆催乳素和皮质醇水平进行了测量。两名临床医生中的一名对每位患者进行检查，在临床问诊和检查的六个不同阶段采集血样。未观察到催乳素或皮质醇水平有显著变化，这表明脉冲式分泌以及门诊妇科就诊应激反应并非解释血浆催乳素水平的重要因素。
