Corticosteroid metabolism in vitro by human placenta, fetal membranes and decidua in early and late gestation.

abstract：:We have examined the hypothesis that regional differences in 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (PGDH) activities occur within the human fetal membranes. Further, we reasoned that a specific reduction in PGDH in the fetal membranes at the lower uterine segment might occur with labour, providing a potential mechanis...
