Zusammenfassung:1  Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo 160-8582; and 2  Department of Clinical Research, National Ohkura Hospital, Tokyo 157-0063, Japan We investigated leukocyte involvement in uterine hypoperfusion and intrauterine fetal growth retardation (IUGR) induced by ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in Sprague-Dawley rats. On day 17  of gestation, leukocyte accumulation in the uterus and placenta subjected to 30 min of ischemia, followed by reperfusion, was assessed by measuring myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. Uterine MPO activity was significantly higher after 1 h of reperfusion than it was before ischemia ( P
