1 | Incubation of cytotrophoblasts with insulin or IGF-I for 24 h significantly increased the ability of these cells to convert pregnenolone to progesterone by 75.8 +/- 16.5% (+/- SE) and 65.4 +/- 12.7%, respectively. | Progesterone | insulin like growth factor 1 | Homo sapiens |
2 | Since pregnant diabetic women manifest peripheral hyperinsulinemia, and IGF-I levels in fetal cord sera from diabetic pregnancies may be elevated, these observations may help explain the elevated serum progesterone levels associated with pregnancy in the diabetic patient. | Progesterone | insulin like growth factor 1 | Homo sapiens |
