title: Acid-ethanol-extractable nonsuppressible insulin-like activity (NSILA-S) during pregnancy and the puererium, and in cord serum at term.
abstract: A longitudinal study of serum NSILA-S during normal human pregnancy and the puerperium has demonstrated that levels rose progressively during pregnancy and returned to nonpregnant values about 48 h after delivery. Low concentrations were defined within the feto-placental circulation at term. Cord arterial and venous levels were equivalent, but there was no significant correlation between these and matched maternal values.
