Metabolic syndrome is a clustering of several cardiovascular risk factors including obesity, hypertension, diabetes, high triglyceride etc. Obesity has been shown to decreases key markers of uterine contractility during parturition in the rat and diabetes is associated with impairment of uterine contractility and high caesarean section rate. In this study, the effect of metabolic syndrome on gravid uterine muscle contractility in sprague-dawley rat was deter...
