[Energy metabolism of the myometrium in pregnancy and labor]. 1985

T Laudański

The strips of uterine muscle were taken during the caesarean section and the levels of energetic substrates (glycogen and FFA), glycolysis products (pyruvate and lactate), highenergetic phosphates were estimated and the activity of selected carbohydrate metabolism enzymes was tested--in the homogenates in relation to the type of uterine contractility. Further the protein metabolism enzymes were estimated also (AspAT, ALAT, GlDH); including CPK. It was demonstrated that the energetic metabolism of the uterine muscle is different in pregnancy and in labour and depends on the type of uterine contractility.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007743	Labor, Obstetric	The repetitive uterine contraction during childbirth which is associated with the progressive dilation of the uterine cervix (CERVIX UTERI). Successful labor results in the expulsion of the FETUS and PLACENTA. Obstetric labor can be spontaneous or induced (LABOR, INDUCED).	Obstetric Labor
D007773	Lactates	Salts or esters of LACTIC ACID containing the general formula CH3CHOHCOOR.
D009215	Myometrium	The smooth muscle coat of the uterus, which forms the main mass of the organ.	Uterine Muscle,Muscle, Uterine,Muscles, Uterine,Uterine Muscles
D011247	Pregnancy	The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.	Gestation,Pregnancies
