Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of Maternal Thyroid during Pregnancy
Daniel Glinoer,P de Nayer,Pierre Bourdoux,Marc Lemone,Claude Robyn,A. Van Steirteghem,Jacques Kinthaert,Bernard Lejeune +7 more
TL;DR: The alterations in maternal thyroid function during gestation are intricate and far from fully understood, and regulation of the maternal thyroid is complex, resulting from both elevated hCG and increasing TSH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum Levels of Intact Human Chorionic-gonadotropin (hcg) and its Free-alpha and Beta-subunits, in Relation To Maternal Thyroid-stimulation During Normal-pregnancy
Daniel Glinoer,Philippe De Nayer,Claude Robyn,Bernard Lejeune,Jacques Kinthaert,Sylvain Meuris +5 more
TL;DR: The present studies confirm the role of hCG as an important thyroidal regulator during normal pregnancy and indicate for the first time that in these women, circulating hCG is characterized by elevated free β-hCG subunit and intact hCG levels, perhaps resulting from an imbalanced production of h CG.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of age on serum prolactin levels in women and men.
Marcel Vekemans,Claude Robyn +1 more
TL;DR: A 51-year-old woman admitted for cholecystectomy; at operation a peroperative choledochogram showed an enlarged duct with the suspicion of a stone within it, but none was found on exploration and transduodenal sphincterotomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circadian Periodicity of Serum Prolactin Concentration in Man
TL;DR: In women investigated during the last month of their pregnancy the mean serum prolactin levels were 2·3 times higher than in the non-pregnant women, but there was no circadian periodicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum prolactin levels during the menstrual cycle.
TL;DR: There was a progressive and significant increase in serum prolactin during the late follicular phase, with a maximal value concomitant to the LH peak.
