Journal ArticleDOI
De novo synthesis of prolactin by human decidua.
TL;DR: Data indicate that a species of Prolactin which is identical to pituitary prolactin by the criteria of immunoprecipitation and gel chromatography is synthesized by human decidual tissue in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decidua: A possible source of amniotic fluid prolactin
TL;DR: Decidua may be a major source of amniotic fluid Prolactin and sufficient prolactin is present in the decidua to account for that found in amniotics fluid at term.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The addition of estrogen and progesterone, respectively, enhances and suppresses prolactin production in contrast to decidualized human endometrium where opposite effects on prolactIn production are found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stimulatory activity of serum on prolactin production by human decidua
TL;DR: FCS and HS contain a substance which stimulates the secretion of PRL by human decidua, which is very stable, being resistant to dialysis, boiling, and denaturation by trichloroacetic acid, and which is most likely a large polypeptide with a molecular weight greater than 12,000 or a smaller moiety tightly bound to a protein.
