Synthesis of sex steroid hormones in placenta (review)
Abstract
The references review about the process of sex steroid hormones synthesis during pregnancy is analyzed in the article. The stages of cholesterol transforming into progesterone and estrogens in fetoplacental complex are studied in detail, enzymes involved in biosynthesis are also examined, and the latest data about the process regulation are given.
