Circulating levels of inhibin A, inhibin B and activin A in normal and intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) fetuses

Circulating levels of inhibin A, inhibin B and activin A in normal and intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) fetuses

Objective: To evaluate the relationships between circulating levels of inhibin A, inhibin B and activin A, and sex, gestational age and gonadotropins in normal and pathological fetuses. Study design: The study included 31 normal fetuses and 12 affected with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) of...

Zusammenfassung:Objective: To evaluate the relationships between circulating levels of inhibin A, inhibin B and activin A, and sex, gestational age and gonadotropins in normal and pathological fetuses. Study design: The study included 31 normal fetuses and 12 affected with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) of gestational age ranging 20–40 weeks. Results: No gender difference in inhibin A and activin A levels were observed. Inhibin B levels were significantly higher in males than in females ( P
