Decreased prolactin secretion by decidual tissue of pre-eclampsia in vitro.
In vitro prolactin (hPrl) secretion by explants of decidual tissue was studied in pre-eclampsia and normal controls. Our results indicate diminished hPrl production by decidua of pre-eclampsia as compared to the normal controls. Incubation of normal decidual tissue in the presence of serum obtained from pre-eclamptic patients did not induce an inhibitory effect on hPrl production.
