[Pituitary response to TRH during pregnancy and puerperium (author's transl)].
Pituitary reserves in TSH, during pregnancy and post-partum, were studied by TRH tests. TSH levels in sera were determined by two sensitive and specific radio-immunological systems. In all casses (42 tests) after intravenous injection of 200 mug of TRH a positive response in TSH was observed. Basal TSH levels (1.52 +/- 0,28 muU MRCA/ml), peak values and duration of the response after TRH were similar to those observed in a control group of non pregnant-women.
