Abstract
The production of ovine chorionic somatomammotrophin (OCS) was demonstrated in the trophoblast from Days 16-17 of pregnancy. Concentrations in the placenta rose slowly until about Day 100 when there was a rapid increase to reach 70 +/- 5 microng prolactin equivalent/g fresh placental tissue and 15 +/- 2 mg/placenta on Day 120. After Day 140, the concentrations decreased. It is suggested that OCS may be luteotrophic and have an effect on fetal growth.Entities:
