High levels of human placental lactogen are a relatively common disease, which can cause great harm to patients and must be taken seriously. So what causes high levels of human placental lactogen? Human placental lactogen seems to be composed of placental syncytiotrophoblast cells. It rarely appears in the fetus and can cause great harm to patients. Let us learn more about it in detail. Placental lactogen (hPL) is also called chorionic somatolactin (hCS). hPL is also produced and secreted by the placental syncytiotrophoblast cells. After secretion, most of it enters the intervillous spaces and placental sinusoids and rarely appears in the fetus. The function of hPL is to work synergistically with insulin and corticosteroids in pregnant women to promote breast development and positive nitrogen balance, which is beneficial to the accumulation of protein during pregnancy. hPL also has the effect of inhibiting fat deposition, promoting lipolysis and increasing free fatty acids in the blood. When free fatty acid is dominant over glucose in the blood, muscle tissue mainly uses free fatty acid as energy and reduces the intake of glucose. This helps the fetus absorb large amounts of glucose from the mother's blood. The function of hPL is an important condition for the rapid growth and development of the fetus. We hope that the relevant analysis on high human placental lactogen can help patients. We also hope that patients can build up confidence in treating the disease in their daily lives, correct their attitudes, eat less spicy and irritating foods, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and reduce the harm of the disease to patients. |
