The numerous observations of increased levels of blood and urinary 17-hydroxycorticosteroids in human pregnancy associated with a rising output of 17-ketosteroids and aldosterone have suggested to many investigators that adrenal cortical function is increased in this condition. In some pregnant women with adrenal insufficiency increased urinary corticosteroids and 17-ketosteroids have also been reported and the possibility that the placenta may be elaborating corticosteroids has frequently been suggested.
