Human placental lactogen (HPL) was analyzed in 52 samples of amniotic fluid. Assays of liquor HPL appear to aid in the evaluation of the degree of fetal involvement with erythroblastosys. The measurement of HPL in amniotic fluid may yet be proved also in the management of mothers with diabetes.

Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as glucose intolerance during pregnancy. We aimed to investigate the potential effects of betatrophin and ApoC2 in GDM, focusing on their roles in LPL (lipoprotein lipase) regulation and their relationship with hPL to elucidate the possible impact of hPL on lipid metabolism and its potential contribution to the development of GDM.
Methods: Thirty pregnant women with normal glucose tolerance and 29 with gestational diabetes mellitus (diagnosed by 75g OGTT between 24 and 28 weeks) were included in the study.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common endocrine disorders to occur during pregnancy due to the increase in circulating human placental lactogen (hPL) and possible beta-cell sensitivity. While GDM can be managed either with diet and exercise or pharmacological interventions, it is associated with significant maternal and neonatal complications. Maternal complications include short- and long-term conditions such as pre-eclampsia, preterm birth, arrest of labor, future development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and cardiovascular disorders.

The overall functions of serum HPL impacts the developing fetus and placenta. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between maternal serum concentration of HPL and sonographic fetal growth parameters in pregnancy induced hypertension as a marker of placental function.

Accumulating evidence suggests that heavy metal exposure may have adverse effects on the fetal development. Furthermore, disruption of serum hormone homeostasis can result in the adverse pregnancy outcomes. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the potential association between heavy metals and missed abortion, with a focus on whether serum hormones mediate this relationship.

Unlabelled: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a pathological condition in which the placenta releases a hormone called human placental lactogen that prevents maternal insulin uptake. GDM is characterised by varying degrees of carbohydrate intolerance and is first identified during pregnancy. Around 5-17% of pregnancies are GDM pregnancies.
