    abstract = "53 mother-neonate couples, of different gestational ages, were studied for PGF2α levels in the mother’s blood at the beginning of the first stage of labor and in the umbilical cord blood. PGF2α levels were found to be increased in all neonates compared to their mothers and in the blood of the mothers of prematures compared to the mothers of the post-mature babies. No correlation could be found between the gestational age of the neonate and the umbilical cord levels of PGF2α. © 1977 S. Karger AG, Basel."
