ELISA kit ("sandwich" type) for the quantitative determination of prolactin in human serum.
Prolactin is a single-chain protein hormone with molecular weight ca. 23 000 Da. It is synthesized in the frontal lobe of pituitary gland. Prolactin assay is a relevant tool for diagnosing testicular and ovarian dysfunctions. Hyperprolactinemia in women may lead to galactorrhea, amenorrhea and other menstrual cycle disorders. In men it may result in impotence or loss of libido. Circulating prolactin is measured as a primary test for barrenness.
Pathological hyperprolactinemia takes place in case of hypothyroidism, renal insufficiency and in patients with a pituitary gland.tumor - prolactinoma. Prolactin level physiologically increases during gestation, lactation, in sleep and after physical and emotional stress.
