During the process of mechanical cervical ripening, maternal satisfaction, but not objective obstetrical parameters, was influenced by increased maternal BMI. The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, no: NCT00604487. Trial registry name is "Induction of Labor in Patients with Unfavorable Cervical Conditions."
Chronic maternal inflammation induced intrauterine growth restriction in offspring and a decrease in the proportion of follicles. This change might be due to premature apoptosis. These preliminary results suggest that maternal inflammation has a detrimental effect on the development of the female reproductive system of the offspring and thus, future fertility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
