Journal ArticleDOI
The human sex ratio from conception to birth
Steven Hecht Orzack,J. William Stubblefield,Viatcheslav R. Akmaev,Pere Colls,Santiago Munné,Thomas Scholl,David Steinsaltz,James E. Zuckerman +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the sex ratio at conception is unbiased, the proportion of males increases during the first trimester, and total female mortality during pregnancy exceeds total male mortality; these are fundamental insights into early human development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Appearance of a brain specific antigen (th S-100 protein) during human foetal development.
TL;DR: The concentration of a protein specific to brain, the S‐100 protein, was measured in various regions of the human foetal brain at gestational ages ranging from 10 weeks until term and proceeded in a caudal‐rostral fashion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone is not the sole physiologic mediator of prolactin release during suckling.
Kaare M. Gautvik,Armen H. Tashjian,Ione A. Kourides,Bruce D. Weintraub,C. T. Graeber,Farahe Maloof,K. Suzuki,James E. Zuckerman +7 more
TL;DR: The selective increase in serum prolactin induced by suckling is not caused solely by release of endogenous thyrotropin-releasing hormone, and is not due to blockade of the response of thyrotrophs by high levels of circulating thyroid hormones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Multiparity on Human Maternal Hypersensitivity to Foetal Antigen
TL;DR: An in vitro correlate of cellular hypersensitivity is used to study the immunological response of the mother's lymphocytes to those of her infant, and appears to be measuring a cellular immune response indicating prior sensitization.
