The 24-hours urinary excretion of immunoreactive prostaglandin F2 alpha (U-iPGF2 alpha) in normal children on a free diet was not significantly different in 30 boys (aged 3-15 years; geometric mean 589 ng/24 h) compared to 27 girls (aged 4-14 years; mean 473 ng/24 h). In both sexes this excretion rose with age until adolescence where it reached a plateau. In normal adults the men had significantly higher (p less than 0.001) excretions of U-iPGF2 alpha than the women; also body weight and urinary creatinine excretion were higher in men (p less than 0.001). In the children, as well as in the total population, U-iPGF2 alpha correlated best with body weight (r = 0.44 and r = 0.48 respectively; p less than 0.001) and the urinary creatinine excretion (r = 0.53 and 0.57 respectively; p less than 0.001); both body weight and urinary creatinine excretion are reflections of total body development. After the correction for urinary creatinine excretion or for body weight, the sex difference in the adult U-iPGF2 alpha totally disappeared.
