The source of amniotic fluid prolactin was investigated with the use of amnion, chorion, placenta, and decidual tissue taken from term human pregnancy. Decidua alone of these tissues contained significant quantities of prolactin. The release of decidual prolactin was affected by the presence or absence of oxygen and protein, and the amount of prolactin released far exceeded the decrease in tissue content during incubation. It is concluded that: (1) decidua may be a major source of amniotic fluid prolactin, (2) synthesis of prolactin occurs during incubation of decidua, and (3) sufficient prolactin is present in the decidua to account for that found in amniotic fluid at term.
利用取自足月妊娠的人羊膜、绒毛膜、胎盘和蜕膜组织，对羊水催乳素的来源进行了研究。这些组织中仅蜕膜含有大量催乳素。蜕膜催乳素的释放受有无氧气和蛋白质的影响，且释放的催乳素量远远超过孵育期间组织含量的减少量。得出以下结论：（1）蜕膜可能是羊水催乳素的主要来源；（2）催乳素在蜕膜孵育期间合成；（3）蜕膜中存在足够的催乳素，足以解释足月时羊水中发现的催乳素量。
