Abstract
Eleven term placentas were incubated in Krebs-Ringer solution and maternal serum from the same patient. Estimations of free 17-hydroxy-corticosteroid by the Nelson and Samuels method were made of the medium and the placental tissue before and after incubation. An increase of 17-hydroxycorticosteroid was demonstrated in the medium after incubation, without a significant loss from the placental homogenates.Keywords
