A Potential Role and Contribution of Androgens in Placental Development and Pregnancy
Life, 2021 Successful pregnancy requires the establishment of a highly regulated maternal–fetal environment. This is achieved through the harmonious regulation of steroid hormones, which modulate both maternal and fetal physiology, and are critical for pregnancy ...
