Abstract
The effect of Prolactin in response to academic stress was studied in forty healthy male and female University students during their final year seminar presentation examination. The data collected are some Anthropometric parameters, Blood pressure (diastolic and systolic) and prolactin level. The arterial blood pressure was measured by auscultatory method using stethoscope and sphygmomanometer. Serum prolactin level in blood sample collected from each subject was analyzed using prolactin ELISA kit. The serum prolactin level in students under examination condition when compared to students not under examination increased significantly (P<0.05). The blood pressure also increased with a significant statistical value (P<0.05) when the test group was compared to the control group. It can therefore be inferred that Prolactin level increases in academic stress in both male and female may be a useful neuro-endocrine link to stress.
