Abstract:
Objective: To identify corticotropin releasing hormone(CRH) positive cells from the human placenta. Methods: Using immunohistochemistry to show the cellular expression of placental CRH. Results: During human pregnancy, placental CRH level rose markedly from undetectable amounts prior to 20 weeks gestation to nearly the peak level. Conclusion: The presence of CRH in maternal plasma is attributed to the placental production and subsequent release of this hormone into the maternal circulation. [
