Abstract
|
|
|
Human Chorionic Conadotropin (HCG) is produced by syncytiotrophoblastic cells. hCG is closely related both biolcgically and chemically to the pituitary luteinizing horrmcne(LH).
The β-chain is interchangiable with that of pituitary LH and follicular stimulating hormone (FSH).
The β-chain is immunologically distinguishable from both FSH and LH, allowing for a specific β-subunit hCG radioimmunoassay.
hCG concentrations were measured in fetal cord arterial and venous sera at delivery. The results obtained were asfollows;
1. The levels of hCG were significantly higher in the venous(4.974±24.82 mIU/㎖)than in the arterial circulation.
2. The mean cord venous serum hCG concentration of female infants (51.60±25.36 mlU/㎖) was not significantly different from that of male infants(48.30±24.30 mIU/㎖).
3. The mean cord arterial serum hCG concentration of female infants (33.75±16.61 mlU/㎖) was also not significantly different from that of female infants (28.96±14.55mIU/㎖).
