Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) use in pregnancy has been associated with hormonal dysregulation. We performed a secondary retrospective analysis of longitudinal progesterone and estradiol levels in pregnancy using specimens from the Protease Inhibitors to Reduce Malaria Morbidity in HIV-infected Pregnant Women study, which randomized Ugandan human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected ART-naive women to initiate either lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r)-based or efavirenz (EFV)-based cART. Three hundred twenty-six women (160 randomized to the EFV arm and 166 women to the LPV/r arm) with at least 1 plasma sample collected during pregnancy were included. Enrollment samples collected prior to cART initiation were used as a cART-naive comparator group. Hormone levels were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Estradiol levels were differentially affected by the 2 cART regimens. Exposure to LPV/r was associated with an increase in estradiol (P < .0001), whereas exposure to EFV was associated with a decrease in estradiol (P < .0001), relative to the cART-naive gestationally matched comparator group. Lower estradiol levels correlated with small for gestational age (SGA) (P = .0019) and low birth weight (P = .019) in the EFV arm, while higher estradiol levels correlated with SGA in the LPV/r arm (P = .027). Although progesterone levels were similar between treatment arms, we observed an association between SGA and lower progesterone in the LPV/r arm (P = .04). No association was observed between hormone levels and preterm birth in either arm. Levels of progesterone and estradiol were lower in cases of stillbirth, and levels of both hormones declined immediately prior to stillbirth in 5 of 8 cases. Combination ART regimens differentially affect estradiol levels in pregnancy, a hormone critical to the maintenance of a healthy pregnancy. Identifying cART regimens that minimize perinatal HIV transmission without contributing to hormonal dysregulation represents an urgent public health priority. NCT00993031.

D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D011251 Pregnancy Complications, Infectious The co-occurrence of pregnancy and an INFECTION. The infection may precede or follow FERTILIZATION. Complications, Infectious Pregnancy,Infectious Pregnancy Complications,Maternal Sepsis,Pregnancy, Infectious Complications,Sepsis during Pregnancy,Sepsis in Pregnancy,Infectious Pregnancy Complication,Pregnancy Complication, Infectious,Sepsis in Pregnancies,Sepsis, Maternal
D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
