Key result

Term labor was associated with a significantly increased ratio of 65 kDa EMMPRIN to total EMMPRIN in chorio-decidua and amnion compared with nonlabor tissues (P < 0.05).

Overview

Suggests EMMPRIN processing contributes to term labor; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.

Li et al. (2004) conducted an observational in Term labor. Term labor vs. Nonlabor was evaluated on Ratio of 65 kDa EMMPRIN to total EMMPRIN (p=< 0.05). Term labor was associated with a significantly increased ratio of 65 kDa EMMPRIN to total EMMPRIN in chorio-decidua and amnion compared with nonlabor tissues (P < 0.05).
