It is established that at the 1st trimester of the progressing pregnancy uterine glands produce both endometrial proteins (placental al-microglobulin--PAMG) and alpha 2-fertility microglobulin (AFMB) but with different intensity: maximum level of PAMG is at early periods (4-5 weeks) but 8-9 weeks of gestation for AFMB. Production deficiency of PAMG and AFMB in the glands epithelium is found in 90% cases of non-developing pregnancy (4-7 weeks) and this is obviously one of the causes of early pregnancy interruption.
