Abstract
The excretion pattern of estriol is of special interest to the clinician. During pregnancy, urinary levels of this compound can be directly correlated with several parameters applying directly to the fetus, ranging from weight to fetal embarrassment and death. The reason for this is the active participation of the fetus in the metabolism of estriol.
This research was supported in part by U.S. Public Health Service Grants AM-06055-03 and T1 AM-5428-01 from the National Institutes of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases.
