The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation


Step 1: Understanding the Concept:

Comparative placental endocrinology: mammalian chorioallantoic extraembryonic membranes synthesize specialized gonadotropins, somatomammotropins, and steroids.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

Endocrinology of the placenta across mammalian species:
1. A. PMSG (eCG Pregnant Mare Serum Gonadotropin): Synthesized by equine endometrial cups (fetal trophoblast origin).
2. B. HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin): Synthesized by human syncytiotrophoblasts.
3. C. Placental Lactogen (PL Chorionic Somatomammotropin): Synthesized by binucleate trophoblast giant cells in ruminant (bovine/ovine) and rodent placentas.
4. D. TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone): Synthesized exclusively by the anterior pituitary gland, not the placenta.
Thus, placental hormones include A, B, and C only.

Step 3: Final Answer:

Therefore, placental hormones include A, B and C only, corresponding to option (C).
