dc.description.abstractOBJECTIVE: To examine possible age related variation in serum prolactin in men. DESIGN: A cross sectional study. SUBJECTS: Healthy married men aged 21 to 85 years with one or more children. MEASUREMENTS: Serum prolactin concentrations measured by immunoradiometric assay. RESULTS: Prolactin concentrations were significantly higher (p < 0.001) from 61 years of age onwards when compared with 31 to 60 years. Prolactin concentrations between 21 to 30 years were significantly higher than between 31 to 50 years (p < 0.05), but lower than between 61 to 70 (p < 0.05) and 75 to 85 (p < 0.01) years. CONCLUSIONS: Serum prolactin concentrations show age related variations in presumably fertile men.en_US
