Macroprolactinemia: Diagnostic, Clinical, and Pathogenic Significance
Figure 3
The prevalence of macroprolactinemia and its gender and age dependency in normal subjects. (a) The circle represents the value of PEG-precipitation ratio in each individual and the vertical line shows the number of subjects. The graph shows almost a normal distribution except for a subgroup (macroprolactinemia) having the ratio greater than 60% (mean + 2SD). (b) The prevalence of macroprolactinemia in women and men. (c) The prevalence of macroprolactinemia in different age groups. (Reproduced from [17]).
