Steroid Regulation of Prostaglandin Dehydrogenase Activity and Expression in Human Term Placenta and Chorio-Decidua in Relation to Labor1
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
NAD+-dependent 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (PGDH) is the key catabolic enzyme controlling levels of biologically active PGs. PGDH is localized to syncytiotrophoblast in placenta, and to trophoblast cells in chorion. To examine the regulation of PGDH by steroids and to determine any changes with labor, we obtained placenta and chorion from term elective cesarean section or spontaneous delivery and...
