Abstract
Human growth hormone (HGH) has been measured in the plasma of 30 subjects at term of pregnancy, at 96 and at 144 h after delivery. The subjects were then selected into three groups: 10 were studied in basal conditions, 10 were given pyridoxine, 10 were given enantate testosterone and valerianate estradiol. In the first group the correlation index (t of Student) was not significant showing the lack of correlation among the tested averages. IN the second group the index of Student was weakly significant (t = 2.36, p < 0.05). In the third group the Authors found a high representative correlation between the term of pregnancy and the 144th hour after delivery (t = 3.81, p < 0.01) and between the 96th and 144th hour after delivery (t = 2.95, p < 0.01).
