Molecular mechanisms of progesterone withdrawal in human uterine smooth muscle cells

2011-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Progesterone administration reduces the risk of preterm labour in high-risk women with singleton pregnancies but has no effect in women with a multiple pregnancy. However, it should be noted that it is not clear why progesterone is effective in the singleton pregnancies and in addition stretch-induced preterm labour is an attractive but not fully proven explanation. The data from my studies showed that progesteron...
