March 1964 TSH IN PLACENTA AND FETUS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Certain functional relationships are known to exist, between the maternal and fetal thyroid glands. Whether or not thyroid stimulating hormons (TSH) takes part in this relationship is a problem of interest. In the present studies, special attention was paid to the possibility that TSH may be produced in the placental tissue since reports on this subject have been limited and it is an unknown area. We have tried to investigate the problem by applying the chick assay method, and we have also devised a method of extraction of TSH.
