METABOLISM OF WOMEN DURING THE REPRODUCTIVE CYCLE. XVII. CHANGES IN ELECTROPHORETIC PATTERNS OF PLASMA PROTEINS THROUGHOUT THE CYCLE AND FOLLOWING DELIVERY

The present investigation, an electrophoretic study of blood proteins, was planned to obtain information concerning the preconceptional physi-ologic status of women, the physiologic changes in the maternal organism in preparation for the exi-gencies of labor and losses at delivery, for the readjustment during the puerperium, and the de-mands of lactation. The results of this study will provide the basis for a better understanding of electrophoretic determinations of the proteins in the blood of women whose child-bearing was com-plicated by abnormal conditions or disease (1). While this investigation was in progress (2) the Tiselius procedure (3) for electrophoretic sep-aration of blood proteins was applied to maternal, fetal, and infant sera by Longsworth, Curtis an
