  • Title: Serum oestradiol, progesterone, chorionic gonadotrophin and prolactin concentrations during pregnancy in the Bolivian squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus).
    Author: Diamond EJ, Aksel S, Hazelton JM, Wiebe RH, Abee CR.
    Journal: J Reprod Fertil; 1987 Jul; 80(2):373-81. PubMed ID: 3656275.
    Abstract:
    Concentrations of chorionic gonadotrophin gradually increased during early pregnancy, reached maximum values at mid-gestation, then declined to low levels. Oestradiol-17 beta concentrations were relatively low (300-600 pg/ml) during early pregnancy, increased thereafter to high levels (10-35 ng/ml), and then appeared to decline towards term. Concentrations of progesterone were constant (100-200 ng/ml) for the first 15 weeks of gestation, suggesting that sequential measurements of progesterone could be used to diagnose early pregnancy. Prolactin concentrations rose during pregnancy, reaching maximum values at term.
