2 context sentences(design, population, supporting numbers)
To investigate the role of leptin during pregnancy, we assessed leptin production by pure cultured human cytotrophoblastic cells (CTB), its regulation by cytokines and 17beta-oestradiol and its effects on human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) secretion.
Purified CTB from first trimester placenta were incubated in duplicates in the presence or absence of cytokines or 17beta-oestradiol.
