THE STATISTICAL COMPARATIVE OF PROLACTIN HORMONE LEVEL BETWEEN NON – PREGNANT WOMEN AND MEN IN BAGHDAD/IRAQ

Abstract

The pituitary gland produces the hormone known as (prolactin) that has huge function in lactation. In addition, it performs a variety of other important bodily tasks, including as controlling behavior, the immune system, and the reproductive system. The objectives of study were to measure the Biostatical comparative of prolactin hormone between genders (non-pregnant women and men) in random aggregation of patients in Baghdad/Iraq.
This project provides a biostatistician examining of prolactin hormone in 100 patients separated equally in to two groups (50 men – 50 Non-pregnant Women), selected in age between (20-40 years) and the data took from different private laboratories in Baghdad/ Iraq through (2021 – 2022), then used of Ichroma TM PRL test on samples.
The results appeared the prolactin hormone value in ( Low level: <5) of men was (8.00%) and its lower than non-pregnant women that was (12.00%), but in (Normal level: 5-25) the prolactin hormone value in men was (78.00%) that mean higher than non-pregnant women that was (52.00%), in other side in (High level: >25) the prolactin hormone value in men was (14.00%) lower than non-pregnant women that was (36.00%). In summary, we concluded that Prolactin hormone levels are normally low for non-pregnant women and for men. There were a little elevation in prolactin hormone in men compared to non-pregnant women in (normal level) Because of the link between high prolactin levels and elevated body mass in men, not in non-pregnant women. The Prolactin hormone high levels are associated with a benign tumor of the pituitary gland known as prolactinoma (non-cancerous). However, if left untreated, these tumors can cause the demise of nearby tissues.
