Pregnant, non-pregnant, and puerperal women, 201 cases in total, were investigated for serum protein fraction and Shichijo's serum reaction, with the following result :
1) In pregnant woman, total serum protein was decreased ; Serum albumin fraction decreased, and α1-, α2-, and β-globulin increased from month to month, and γ-globulin showed slight tendency of decrease.
Shichijo's serum reaction (sero-xero-gel figure) for pregnant women was positive from month to month. The type of this reaction was in inverse reaction with albumin and total serum protein, and correlated withα1-, α2-, β-globulin.
2) In general, women of abnormal pregnancies, such as vomiting, imminent abortion, nephropathia gravidarum, etc. showed accentuated serum reaction. Women who had vomiting and imminent abortion in the early pregnancy tend to suffer, in later pregnancy, from nephropathia gravidarum.
3) Serum protein in puerperal women recovered with the lapse of puerperal days, and γ-globulin was the promptest in recovery.
