Effects of relaxin, pregnancy and parturition on collagen metabolism in the rat pubic symphysis

The aim of this study was to examine the changes in collagen metabolism that occur during pregnancy and parturition and upon relaxin administration to the rat pubic symphysial interpubic tissue. Pubic symphyses were collected from non-pregnant, and intact and ovariectomised pregnant Sprague-Dawley r...

description The aim of this study was to examine the changes in collagen metabolism that occur during pregnancy and parturition and upon relaxin administration to the rat pubic symphysial interpubic tissue. Pubic symphyses were collected from non-pregnant, and intact and ovariectomised pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats at days 15, 18 and 21 of pregnancy as well as during and after delivery, and analysed for collagen content and solubility. SDS-PAGE was used to determine collagen composition. During pregnancy and particularly during birth, there was a significant reduction in both the tissue wet (57+/-3%) and dry (43+/-3%) weight (n=7), which coincided with a significant increase in water content (to 80%) and was attributed to a significant (P
