Regulatory factors of glucocorticoid binding in early and term rat placenta

We have measured by an exchange procedure the binding of [3H]dexamethasone in cytosol of early (10-13 days) and late (19-22 days) placentas from pregnant rats. Binding was 3-fold higher in late placentas both in the presence or absence of Na2MoO4. We then studied some possible regulatory factors in...
