Diabetes, myometrium, and mitochondria in pregnant women at term
ConclusionNo indication of decreased mitochondrial function, content, morphology, or localization in the myometrium at term in women with diabetes compared with controls was observed. The increase in citrate syntase activity in the myometrium could be explained by the lower protein content in the myometrium, which we suggest is due to alterations in tissue or cellular composition.
