We investigated the variations in the distribution of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) in the cervical, isthmic and corporeal stroma of the pregnant and non-pregnant human uterus. The GAG were measured in non-pregnant (n = 9) and pregnant (n = 14) cervices, in non-pregnant (n = 8) and pregnant (n = 6) uterine isthmus, and in non-pregnant (n = 12) and pregnant (n = 5) uterine corpus. Heparan sulfate is abundant in the isthmic and corporeal stroma. This has to be related to a larger content in blood vessels and muscular cells at this level than in the cervix. The distribution of hyaluronic acid and dermatan sulfate is the same in the cervix as in the corpus, but the amount of these GAGs is lower in the former, which could be due to a lower connective tissue content. Two of the main features of cervical maturation, increased hydration, and decreased dermatan sulfate concentration, were found also in the pregnant corporeal stroma. These results suggest that connective tissue maturation is not only a cervical phenomenon and could play a role in active and/or passive mechanical properties of the myometrium during late pregnancy and labor.

ans.(7)During most of gestation, the fetal adrenal gland is almost solely dedicated to the production of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S). This specialized ability of the fetal adrenal is unique to primates and occurs because of a specialized fetal zone that composes the bulk of the fetal adrenal gland. Morphologically and physiologically, the human fetal adrenal (HFA) glands are remarkable organs. The glands at term are almost the size of the fetal kidney due in large part to the presence of the fetal zone, which at term produces more steroid than is normally secreted by adrenal glands of the adult. Much of the steroid released by the fetal zone is DHEA-S, which is used by the placenta to produce estrogens. Herein, we review the features of the HFA gland, including its impressive ability to synthesize large amounts of adrenal androgens for use by the placenta to produce estrogens.
