Uterine Activity, Cytokines and Prostaglandins.

Table presents the mean (SD). Values for amniotic fluid analyses are ng/ml or pmol/min (MMP activity) and for fetal analyses are pg/ml. P-values are based on ANOVA models fit on log-transformed data except total MMP activity, which did not require log transformation.*p†N = 4 for uterine activity in GBS group due to technical issues and insufficient data collection in one case.‡N = 3 for fetal plasma of saline controls.
