Chapter 28.5, Problem 3AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
Human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) its source and effects, the time course of its rising and falling secretion during pregnancy, and its usefulness in pregnancy tests.
Introduction:
The hormones that play a major role in pregnancy are progesterone, estrogens, HCG, and human chorionic somatomammotropin (HCS). Over the period of gestation, these hormone levels serve as an indicator for good health of the fetus. These hormones are released by the placenta; however, corpus luteum is the source of secretion during the initial weeks.
