  • Title: Human chorionic somatomammotropin in normal pregnancy in an Asian population.
    Author: Chew PC, Salmon JA, Ratnam SS.
    Journal: Int J Gynaecol Obstet; 1976; 14(6):522-4. PubMed ID: 20353.
    Abstract:
    Serial Human Chorionic Somatomammotropin (HCS) levels were measured during the last 10 weeks of pregnancy in 57 patients (375 samples). There was a gradual rise from 5.6 microgram/ml at the 30th week to microgram/ml at the 40th week, with a plateau during the last 4 weeks of pregnancy. No correlation could be found of HCS levels with parity, maternal age, maternal height, maternal weight, foetal weight and foetal sex. A weak but significant relationship was found between HCS and plasma oestriol (r = 2.4, p less than 0.001).
