Levels of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol were measured in amniotic fluid during labour and in maternal blood during and after labour. There was a significant rise of maternal ACTH and cortisol levels during labour and a significant decrease after delivery in all 14 patients studied. There were no significant changes in amniotic fluid ACTH and cortisol levels during labour. The initial level of ACTH in amniotic fluid (162-7 pg/ml) was higher than that in maternal circulation (120-2 pg/ml). The correlation between maternal and amniotic fluid ACTH was not significant while the corresponding correlation for cortisol values was.
在分娩过程中测量羊水促肾上腺皮质激素（ACTH）和皮质醇水平，并在分娩期间及产后测量母体血液中的这些激素水平。在所研究的全部14例患者中，分娩期间母体ACTH和皮质醇水平显著升高，产后显著下降。分娩期间羊水ACTH和皮质醇水平无显著变化。羊水中ACTH的初始水平（162-7 pg/ml）高于母体循环中的水平（120-2 pg/ml）。母体与羊水ACTH之间的相关性不显著，而皮质醇值的相应相关性显著。
