Ovarian and placental hormones during prolactin suppression and stimulation in early human pregnancy. 1980

Twenty-seven healthy females referred for legal abortion between the sixth and ninth week of pregnancy were treated for 1 week with either bromocriptine, metoclopramide or placebo. Serum prolactin was significantly (P < 0.01) elevated by metoclopramide and suppressed by bromocriptine. Despite a more than tenfold difference in circulating prolactin levels among these two groups, no significant difference was found in serum levels of progesterone, oestradiol, human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) human placental lactogen (hPL) or pregnancy specific B1-glycoprotein (SP1). These data suggest that circulating levels of prolactin below 150 ng/ml are without effect on either luteal or placental hormone secretion during early human pregnancy.

D010926 Placental Hormones Hormones produced by the placenta include CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN, and PLACENTAL LACTOGEN as well as steroids (ESTROGENS; PROGESTERONE), and neuropeptide hormones similar to those found in the hypothalamus (HYPOTHALAMIC HORMONES). Hormones, Placental

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.

D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.
