Potential roles for gonadal steroids and insulin-like growth factor I during final cervical ripening
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether gonadal steroids and insulin-like growth factor I influence the final cervical remodeling during parturition. METHODS: Cervical biopsies were obtained transvaginally before labor (n = 10) and after spontaneo…
