Induction of the "pregnancy zone" protein by conjugated oestrogens.

Abstract

Treatment with conjugated oestrogens was found to increase significantly the serum concentration of the pregnancy zone protein (PZ) in a group of postmenopausal women. The basic level of PZ before treatment was comparatively high in this group of women and might be related to age and previous pregnancies. Naturally occurring conjugated oestrogens have a similar effect on the induction of PZ as synthetic oestrogens.

A study of premarin intravenous and its influence on blood loss during transurethral prostatectomy.

In a double-blind comparative study conjugated equine oestrogens (USP) (Premarin Intravenous) and saline were administered intravenously to patients undergoing transurethral prostatectomy. This paper proves that the placebo group (saline) displays a tendency, as indicated by two statistical tests, towards a significant increase in the red blood cells lost in the 24-hours after the operation. The Premarin Intravenous group showed no such tendency.
