ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The role of steroid hormones in the control of human parturition has been a subject of debate. The objective of the study was to examine if changes in fetal plasma cortisol or dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) are associated with human term parturition.METHODS:
Fetal plasma cortisol and DHEA-S were measured in 374 singleton pregnancies delivered at term. Umbilical cord blood was obtained from patients in the following 6 groups 1) preterm gestations undergoing cordocentesis for clinical indications before 36 weeks of gestation (n=93), 2) women undergoing cordocentesis for clinical indications after 36 weeks of gestation (n=9), 3) elective cesarean section (C/S) at term without labor (n=140), 4) C/S at term with early labor (cervical dilatationp36 weeks) but did not increase during active labor; 4) The cortisol/ DHEA-S ratio (stress index) increased with advancing gestation and with active labor at term.CONCLUSION:
Human parturition at term is associated with an increase in fetal plasma cortisol and cortisol/DHEA-S ratio, but not DHEA-S.
