Serum prostacyclin binding and half-life was measured in twenty pairs of maternal and umbilical venous samples and in twenty non-pregnant controls. When compared to non-pregnant values both umbilical and maternal samples demonstrated significantly lower albumin concentrations, percentage of prostacyclin binding and shorter prostacyclin half-life.
