Background: Previous studies of maternal risk factors for abnormal placental growth have focused on placental weight and placental ratio as measures of placental growth. We sought to identify ...

A study of more than 400 Australian women has found that alcohol consumption at or around the time of conception can damage the growth of the placenta, potentially harming a baby’s development.

Placental growth hormone (PGH) is synthesized in and secreted from the human placental syncytiotrophoblast (1) into the maternal circulation in a nonpulsatile manner, detectable in the maternal ...
