Preferred Label : placental lactogen;
MeSH definition : A polypeptide hormone of approximately 25 kDa that is produced by the SYNCYTIOTROPHOBLASTS
of the PLACENTA, also known as chorionic somatomammotropin. It has both GROWTH HORMONE
and PROLACTIN activities on growth, lactation, and luteal steroid production. In women,
placental lactogen secretion begins soon after implantation and increases to 1 g or
more a day in late pregnancy. Placental lactogen is also an insulin antagonist.;
