In this study the human decidua, chorion and amnion were incubated for short term. Only the decidua, secreted much prolactin clearly among them as a function of time. When the amounts of prolactin in the maternal blood, cord blood obtained from umbilical vein, or those released into decidual incubation medium were compared with the amniotic fluid prolactin levels, only the decidual prolactin correlated significantly with the amniotic fluid prolactin. The urine obtained from newborns showed a low concentration of prolactin. These results suggest that the origin of prolactin present in the amniotic fluid is not from the mother or fetus, but from the decidua which has the ability of producing prolactin, and that prolactin secreted from this tissue may be transported into the amniotic fluid through the fetal membrane and accumulated there.
在本研究中，对人蜕膜、绒毛膜和羊膜进行了短期培养。其中只有蜕膜随着时间的推移明显分泌了大量催乳素。当将母体血液、脐静脉采集的脐带血中催乳素的含量，或释放到蜕膜培养液中的催乳素含量与羊水催乳素水平进行比较时，只有蜕膜催乳素与羊水催乳素显著相关。新生儿尿液中催乳素浓度较低。这些结果表明，羊水中催乳素的来源不是母亲或胎儿，而是来自具有产生催乳素能力的蜕膜，并且该组织分泌的催乳素可能通过胎膜转运到羊水中并在那里积聚。
