Miscarriage prevention tea affects plasma beta-endorphin concentrations in women with early threatened abortions. The American journal of Chinese medicine, 1999, Volume: 27, Issue:2 Twenty threatened abortive patients in the 7-8th week of gestation were treated with a classical miscarriage prevention tea (Shou-Tai-Tang) combined with psychological consultation. All of the patients had a history of unexplained recurrent abortions. This treatment succeeded in sixteen out of 20 patients. The plasma concentrations of beta-endorphin (beta-EP), gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH), human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), and progesterone (P4) were measured by radioimmunoassay before and after treatment. Compared to control subjects, beta-EP levels were significantly higher, while GnRH, hCG, and P4 were lower than before treatment. Concentrations of these peptides/hormones returned to normal ranges after successful treatment.

Miscarriage prevention tea affects plasma beta-endorphin concentrations in women with early threatened abortions.

Twenty threatened abortive patients in the 7-8th week of gestation were treated with a classical miscarriage prevention tea (Shou-Tai-Tang) combined with psychological consultation. All of the patients had a history of unexplained recurrent abortions. This treatment succeeded in sixteen out of 20 patients. The plasma concentrations of beta-endorphin (beta-EP), gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH), human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), and progesterone (P4) were measured by radioimmunoassay before and after treatment.

[Effect of TCM on plasma beta-endorphin and placental endocrine in threatened abortion]. Zhongguo Zhong xi yi jie he za zhi Zhongguo Zhongxiyi jiehe zazhi = Chinese journal of integrated traditional and Western medicine, 1999, Volume: 19, Issue:2 To explore the effect of TCM on plasma beta-endorphin (beta-EP) and placental endocrine function in patients of threatened abortions (TA).. Changes of plasma beta-EP, gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH), human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG), progesterone (P4) levels were measured with RIA in 40 cases of TA with a history of recurrent spontaneous abortion treated with Chinese herbal medicine for reinforcing Kidney and Qi, hemostasis and antiabortion. And the results were compared with those of normal early pregnant women and patients with incomplete abortion as control.. The plasma beta-EP level in TA was significantly higher than that in normal pregnant women, P < 0.01. On the contrary, plasma GnRH, HCG and P4 were obviously lower in TA as compared with those of the normal cases, P < 0.01. After treatment, 36 of the 40 patients succeeded in the continuity of pregnancy, their symptoms of TA disappeared, and the above-mentioned four criteria measured at 10-12th week of gestation were similar to those of normal cases, P > 0.05.. TCM treatment can regulate plasma beta-EP and placental endocrine function in threatened abortion.
