Placental growth hormone is the product of the GH-V gene specifically expressed in the
syncytiotrophoblast layer of the human placenta. Placental growth hormone differs from …

A method and device for detecting or monitoring the treatment status of a selected
physiological state or disease condition. The device has a subarray of genes which show a …

The five-member human growth hormone (hGH)/chorionic somatomammotropin (hCS) gene
cluster encodes the pituitary-specific hGH-N gene and four highly related genes (hGH-V …

Cell-lines derived from human placenta and chorion have been used extensively to model
the endocrine functions of human trophoblast. In general terms, the endocrine functions of …

Placental growth hormone (PGH) has been known for 20 years. Nevertheless, its physiology
is far from understood. In this review, basal aspects of PGH physiology are summarised and …

Human placental lactogen (HPL) is produced in large amounts in normal pregnancies. We
report a pregnancy with complete lack of HPL and the placental variant of the human growth …

The gene for pituitary growth hormone (GH-N) in man belongs to a multigene locus located
at chromosome 17q24. 2, which also harbors four additional genes: one for a placental …

abstract Several isoforms of human GH (hGH) are produced by two related genes expressed
in the pituitary (hGH-N) and in the placenta (hGH-V). These genes consist of five exons …

In addition to effects of pituitary-derived gonadotropins, human GH modulates and regulates
intraovarian reproductive processes in a dose-dependent manner via the endocrine …
