title: Maternal plasma estrogens after dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate injection into the fetus.
abstract: To study the biogenesis of estrogens by the fetoplacental unit in late pregnancy, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate was injected directly into the fetus and maternal blood sampled at intervals for 2 hours thereafter. There was no increase of estrone, estradiol, or estriol concentration in the maternal circulation.
