IGF-I, which is produced by intrauterine tissues including the placenta, has been implicated as a possible factor in intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). We hypothesized that placental IGF-I production may be aberrant in pregnancies affected by IUGR. A placental perifusion system was utilized to
Our recent findings that IGF-I inhibits placental thromboxane (TxB2) release (1, 2) and that prostanoid release from placentas or certain pregnancies complicated by intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) is decreased [Sorem KA, Siler-Khodr TM, Placenta, 16:503-515, 1995] led us to investigate the ef
