significantly higher rate of intrapartum cesarean section among women ≥40 years, both after spontaneous onset of labor (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 3.07, 95%CI 2.81-3.35) and induction of labor (aOR 2.51, 95%CI 2.24-2.81). The risk of VE was also increased...
Diabetes and puberty : studies on hormonal factors of importance to the blood glucose control
(2000-11-24)
a correlation between blood glucose and IGFBP-3 protease activity during mid-puberty. We speculate, the increased protease activity is a compensatory mechanism to restore free IGF-I concentrations to normalise glucose homeostasis. Low IGF-I levels...
