Human placental lactogen (hPL) deficiency in a normal pregnancy.
A case of human placental lactogen (hPL) deficiency together with normal oestriol levels associated with a normal pregnancy in a woman in her second pregnancy is reported. The woman gave birth to a healthy male infant. The placenta was normal. Extremely low hPL levels may be compatible with the delivery of a healthy infant.
متن کاملSerum human placental lactogen (HPL) levels in normal pregnancy.
It is now well established that human placenta secretes a protein hormone Human Placental Lactogen (HPL), also referred to as placental Somatomarnmotropin. It shows immunological crossreactivity with pituitary growth hormone and possesses both mammotropi.c and somatotropic effects (Jasiomovich and Maclaren, 1962, Kaplan and Grumbach 1968). This hormone is produced by syncytiotrophoblast layer o...
متن کاملIn vitro biosynthesis of human placental lactogen (HPL) by chorionic tissue and the diagnostic value of HPL in trophoblastic disease.
With an aim to elucidate the significance of Human Placental Lactogen (HPL) during gestation, I assayed the HPL and HCG concentration in the chorionic tissue and the blood. The results as follows: 1) There was a definite correlation between the HPL concentration in the maternal serum at term and the weight of the neonates, which might lead to an idea that HPL took part in the growth of fetuses ...
متن کاملPlacental lactogen levels in diabetic pregnancy.
A prospective study has been carried out of placental lactogen levels in pregnancy complicated by diabetes mellitus. The levels were higher than those in normal pregnant subjects; the higher levels were related to increased placental and fetal weight but more closely to the former; and lower levels were found when there was clinical evidence of placental dysfunction. Those patients requiring th...
متن کاملHuman placental lactogen (hPL-A) activates signaling pathways linked to cell survival and improves insulin secretion in human pancreatic islets.
The search for factors either promoting islets proliferation or survival during adult life is a major issue for both type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus. Among factors with mitogenic activity on pancreatic β-cells, human placental lactogen (hPL) showed stronger activity when compared to the other lactogen hormones: growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL). The aim of the present work is to elucidate ...
