Amniotic fluid prolactin, decidual prolactin content and decidual prolactin secretion into HYPO-, ISO-, and sodium chloride hyperosmotic mediain vitro in pregnant diabetics at term
Abstract:This study evaluated in pregnant women with diabetes mellitus (DM) the prolactin (PRL) concentration in amniotic fluid (A-PRL), the initial decidual PRL content (D-PRL), and the decidual PRL secretion (D-PRL-s) in vitro into isosmotic (315 mmol/kg), hyperosmotic (426 mmol/kg) and hyposmotic (252 mmol/kg) media. Decidual tissue was collected at term from 18 normal pregnancies and from 23 women with DM (White's classification: 7 of class A (without insulin treatment) and 16 of the classes B-F.
