  • Title: [The ACTH content of plasma in fetal and newborn swine].
    Author: Brenner KV, Gürtler H, Reinhard P.
    Journal: Endokrinologie; 1978 Apr; 71(2):154-8. PubMed ID: 208832.
    Abstract:
    ACTH concentration has been estimated radioimmunologically in fetal plasma (100th day of gestation) and in plasma of newborn piglets during the first 24 hours of life and in sows. In comparison to the values of ACTH in sows at the 100th day of gestation during anaesthesia (175 pg/ml) and sows at parturition (235 +/- 77 pg/ml) the concentration in fetal (558 +/- 163 pg/ml) and newborn piglets (448 +/- 158 pg/ml) was much higher. On an average ACTH concentration increased during the first 24 hours of life up to 998 +/- 628 pg/ml. The results are compared to those in other species.
