Résumé

La synthèse de la somatomammotrophine (HCS) et d'un facteur présentant une réaction immunologique croisée avec l'ACTH a été démontrée dans des cultures de fragments de placenta et de membrane amniotique. Ce facteur est comparable à la corticotrophine chorionique humaine précédemment décrite dans le plasma de femme enceinte et les extraits placentaires.
