NCT ID NCT01762683

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at how obesity might affect the cells in the uterus that help with labor. Researchers took blood and uterine tissue samples from 38 women having C-sections, some with normal weight and some obese. They wanted to see if certain cells and chemicals in the blood could change how uterine cells behave, which might explain why obese women sometimes have delivery problems.
