The placenta in leprosy.

abstract：:The human placenta possesses a large capacity for inactivation of prostanoids. This is due to the presence of large quantities of the NAD(+)-linked 15-hydroxy-prostaglandin dehydrogenase (PGDH type I; EC 1.1.1.141). In order to investigate whether a specific localization of PGDH is at the origin of the increasing plac...
