ROLE OF RELAXIN IN PRETERM BIRTH
Keywords:
Relaxin is a peptide hormone synthesized by the ovaries and placenta during pregnancy. It has several important functions, including relaxing the smooth muscle of the uterusAbstract
Premature labor remains one of the leading causes of perinatal morbidity and mortality and is still one of the most challenging medical problems. To prevent and intervene in a timely manner, it is necessary to understand the biological processes that may cause it. One such factor is the hormone relaxin, which plays a key role in preparing the body for labor, but its imbalance can contribute to premature labor. This paper examines the role of relaxin in the process of premature labor, as well as the possible mechanisms through which it may influence the onset of labor.
