Simultaneous profile of prostanoids in pregnant preterm non labouring, term non labouring and term labouring myometrium using ESI-LC-MS

Durn Joanne , Marshall Kay , Nicolaou Anna , Farrar Diane , O' Donovan Peter , Woodward David

The aim of this study was to simultaneously profile, using electrospray ionization liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (ESI-LC-MS), prostanoids (PG) produced in samples of: pregnant preterm non labouring (PTNL); term non labouring (TNL): and term labouring (TL) myometrium.Lower segment samples were obtained at Caesarean section from consenting pregnant women (18–36 years of age) at term (38–41 weeks) and preterm (33 weeks) gestation. Sample...

A profile of the prostanoids produced by human pregnant uterine tissue in vitro

Durn Joanne , Marshall Kay , Nicolaou Anna , Farrar Diane , O'Donovan Peter , Woodward David

The aim of this study was to simultaneously profile, using electrospraionization liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (ESI-LC-MS), prostanoids (PG) produced in the pregnant labouring (L) and non labouring (NL) myometrium.Lower segment samples were obtained at Caesarean section from consenting pregnant women (18–36 years of age) at term gestation (38–41weeks). Samples were transported to the laboratory and immediately bathed in physiological ...
