The CgA immunoreactivity was demonstrated by immunofluorescence studies of isolated trophoblasts and decidual cells from term placentas. Double immunofluorescence of isolated trophoblasts showed colocalization of CgA with hPL and hCG. Since syncytiotrophoblasts are the placental source of hPL, that indicates that this cell is one site of CgA production.
1). Human placenta decisively contributes to all phases of gestation, and placental neurohormones are critical in providing a favorable uterine environment. When maternal or fetal acute or chronic hostile events occur, placental secretions may protect the feto-placental unit, and/or trigger parturition, thus helping the fetus to escape from a hostile environment. The present chapter will review the experimental and clinical studies on the possible role of placental neurohormones and related molecules in physiological and pathological conditions occurring throughout gestation.

Both prostaglandin F2 (PGF2) and E2 (PGE2) increases the CRH concentration in the culture medium 22 F. Petraglia et al. 2 Brain The mechanisms stimulating CRF release from medial basal hypothalamus are in part chemically identical to those operating in the human placenta.
