The effect of allyloestrenol on human chorionic somatomammotropin synthesis of the placenta during normal pregnancy.
The effect of allyloestrenol on human chorionic somatomammotropin (HCS) level in healthy pregnant women in the fifth to eighth months of gestation has been studied by radioimmune techniques. The HCS level showed a significant increase within 10 to 12 days. According to the results, allyloestrenol exerts a stimulating effect on the placental steroids as well as on HCS production.
