    Abstract:
    The lack of literature data dealing with placental lactogen concentration as well as with the other biochemical parameters in blood serum in women with ectopic pregnancy was the reason we turned to that problem. In eight patients with ectopic pregnancy there was determined placental lactogen level and oxytocinase activity as well as the activity of beta-glucuronidase and thermostable alkali phosphatase isoenzyme in blood serum. The results obtained were compared to the concentration of those parameters in blood serum in women with ectopic pregnancy and to those of not pregnant women. It was stated that in women with ectopic pregnancy there was produced placental lactogen and its concentration in blood serum was lower (about 30 percent) than that in women with ectopic pregnancy. Similarly, mean value of oxytocinase activity in women with ectopic pregnancy was twice lower in comparison to that of ectopic pregnancy, while beta-glucuronidase activity was twice higher when compared to that of ectopic pregnancy values. Placental alkali phosphatase isoenzyme activity was similar in both groups of pregnant women.
